Sustainable Transport is Maturing in Asia: Report on the 6th Regional EST Forum
Sophie Punte, 2012
A decade ago, sustainable transport was an abstract concept for many Asian governments. A lot has changed since then. The Swedish/Asian Development Bank-funded program, Sustainable Urban Mobility in Asia (SUMA), which began in 2006, helped transform the thinking on the role of transport in urban development. It brought together organizations that are now leading the work in Asia on transport policies, public transport, non-motorized transport, and emissions management. The program was instrumental in establishing the Sustainable Transport Initiative within the Asian Developmnent Bank, and sustainable transport in now central to development banks' future assistance to Asian countries.
