Key Messages• Challenge is large: urban and motor vehicle growth, strong
barriers: financial, physical, institutional, cultural
• Predict-and-provide approach is not sustainable
• Avoind-shift-improve through active and public transport, demand management, integrated urban development
– High impact, fast implementation, low cost, structural change
– Excellent examples in developing and developed countries
– Requires political leadership to change of paradigms: people first not the motor vehicles
