Improving Transport Planning for Accessible Cities

image of Improving Transport Planning for Accessible Cities

Cities are places of opportunity. They provide not just jobs but a whole range of public, cultural, social and consumption amenities. Transport is what connects people to these opportunities and cities provide access with varying degrees of success – especially when it comes to modes of transport that favour a green transition. This report argues that building sustainable transport networks for accessible cities requires a holistic planning approach, a sound institutional framework, reliable sources of funding, strong governmental capacity, and should build on community engagement. Urban accessibility requires coherent allocation of responsibilities across levels of government to support strategic planning. The report proposes concrete actions that cities can take to adapt their institutional framework, to improve transport planning and ensure they have access to sustainable sources of funding to implement their plans.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on our daily lives, and in particular on our mobility, with increased up-take of digitalisation at the forefront. On-going megatrends such as teleworking and e-commerce have accelerated, raising questions about the type of transport infrastructure we have in place today and that we need, in an uncertain, tomorrow.
