Promoting Sustainable Urban Mobility – TUMI workshop

Cities in developing countries and emerging economies are growing rapidly, and land use planning and development of public transport systems cannot keep pace with population growth and city expansion. This results in spatial developments with low densities on the periphery of cities, which are not conducive to the development of quality public transport and efficient infrastructure provision. Moreover, city centres are often very dense and overcrowded, with limited space for dedicated public transport infrastructure, making it necessary to integrate urban development and transport planning to promote sustainable transport modes, such as public transport and active modes.
