MOBILITY IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD

SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION IS A STRONG AND ADVANCING INDUSTRY CLUSTER

In a nutshell, sustainable transportation can be described as moving people and goods in cleaner and greener ways, and where appropriate, moving less.

Sustainable transportation encompasses:
· Telecommunications to reduce or replace travel, or to make it more efficient
· Cleaner and more efficient systems for moving (or moving less) goods
· Land use planning and green development to bring people and their needs closer together
· Sustainable personal transportation modes like transit, walking, cycling
· New approaches to car travel including car sharing, car pooling, cleaner cars and fuels
· New businesses and products for tomorrow's transportation needs.
·
The sustainable transportation sector is an advancing industry cluster that includes all businesses, products, employment and economic ventures related to sustainable transportation.

Case Studies Database
Mobility in the Developing World's case study database is a compilation of success stories in sustainable transportation/new mobility. Every case study describes an initiative that either comes from a developing world city or works with developing world cities. Learn how cities in Africa, Latin America and Asia are taking the lead in tackling congestion, pollution, goods movement, employment, environmental quality, and more, through sustainable transportation. http://www.movingtheeconomy.ca/home_cs.html
