Welcome to the Sustainable Urban Transport Project
Policy-makers are facing demands to meet the changing mobility needs of citizens in ways which are economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.
The Sustainable Urban Transport Project (SUTP) Asia is a partnership between the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ), the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), CITYNET and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP). It aims to help developing world cities achieve their sustainable transport goals, through the dissemination of information about international experience and targeted work within cities.

*The Sustainable Urban Mobility in Asia (SUMA) program of the Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities (www.cleanairnet.org/caiasia), Asian Development Bank (www.adb.org), EMBARQ-the World Resources Institute Center for Sustainable Transport (http://embarq.wri.org), GTZ Sustainable Urban Transport Project (www.sutp.org), Interface for Cycling Expertise (www.cycling.nl), Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (www.itdp.org), and United Nations Center for Regional Development (www.uncrd.or.jp/est) is made possible through the generous support of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (www.sida.se).
SUMA works with Asian countries and cities to strengthen the
formulation and implementation of sustainable urban transportation
policies, specifically in (i) improving urban air quality by adopting
AQM planning in sustainable transport policies, (ii) improving road
safety by encouraging non-motorized transport, and (iii) reducing
transport's contribution to climate change by adopting a co-benefits
approach with urban air quality management.
