Three solutions for delivering sustainable mobility in cities

The document proposes integrated planning, demand-side management, and electric mobility as key solutions for sustainable urban transport. It identifies four city profiles—Efficiency Opportunists, Electric Vehicle Leapfroggers, Digital Disruptors, and Renewable Drivers—to guide interventions in fast-growing cities across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, noting that urban transport emissions are expected to double by 2050.

• The document proposes three primary solutions for sustainable urban mobility: integrating energy, land-use, and mobility planning to gain systems-level benefits; employing demand-side targeting and management to reduce unnecessary travel and energy use; and implementing electric mobility supported by clean energy supplies integrated from the start.
• Fast-growing cities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are categorized into four types for targeted interventions: 'Efficiency Opportunists' (fastest growing 2020-2030, suited for fuel economy policies), 'Electric Vehicle Leapfroggers' (those with access to renewable electricity), 'Digital Disruptors' (those using digital technology to improve mobility and safety), and 'Renewable Drivers' (those with available renewable resources and biofuels).
• Cities currently contribute 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions and house 50% of the world's population despite occupying only 3% of land area; urban transport emissions and energy consumption are projected to double by 2050, primarily in developing countries.
