The twenty thematic chapters in this book provide a broad set of
perspectives on the plight, possibilities and opportunities of
urban transport in the developing world, set against the challenges
of sustainable development. The contributors expertly set the
international context of transport policymaking and planning for
developing cities and present a critical review of recent
developments that have taken place and which offer lessons for the
future. The special features that distinguish this book are: its
multiple institutional perspectives on transport in urban
development of developing cities; its efforts to link
sustainability with urban transport and other development concerns;
and its understanding of the consequences of globalism in choices
and obligations for urban transport. This Handbook will prove
invaluable for professional practitioners and academics engaged in
and concerned with the future of movement in cities of the
developing world. It will also be of interest to students of urban
transport and city planning, particularly those from developing
countries. Politicians, policymakers and international development
agencies and investors, as well as those working for international
non-government organizations wishing to familiarize themselves with
the mounting transportation challenges of developing cities, will
also find this book a source of inspiration. Contributors: A.
