Rapid
motorization and insufficient investment in urban transport planning,
and traffic management in developing countries cause a growing number
of road accidents, deaths and injuries, air pollution and lost economic
productivity.
The main challenge for UN-HABITAT's Urban Transport Planning Management
Programme is to find ways to promote urban productivity and improved
living and working conditions for urban populations by appropriately
meeting transport needs in an economically efficient, and environmentally
and socially sustainable manner. |
