The urban population in many developing countries continues to grow
at more than six percent per year. The number of cities with a
population of over 10 million inhabitants is expected to double
within a generation. More importantly, within a generation, more
than half of the developing world's population and between a third
and one-half of its poor, will then reside in cities. Not only will
the number of inhabitants in cities continue to increase but the
problems associated with an increasing urban population will be
exacerbated. This strategy paper connects the urban and transport
strategies with a focus on poverty. It concentrates on the problems
of the very poor, not only in relation to income, but also in terms
of the broader dimensions of social exclusion. The objectives of
this book are to offer a better common understanding of urban
transportation problems in developing and transitional economies
and to identify an urban transport strategy framework for national
and city governments.
