Urbanisation in Asia (and the World)
Rapid migration to cities takes place Poverty challenge Environmental challenge
Cities must prepare themselves – fast"Inefficient urban planning/ spatial decisions don’t go away!"
Large investment needs

500 million more people move into Asian cities
3
Urbanisation as a Chance for Pro-Poor Growth and Development
Higher average per-capita income
Economies of scale / scope in infrastructure service provision
Opportunities
4
Urban Mobility as a Key Factor…
… for the working of the urban economy Time wasted Division of labour Location factor in attracting FDIs
… for the urban poor Share of income Mobility between living and working areas
5
Maintaining Urban Mobility
Congestion in cities as a threat to competitiveness & investment environment & "liveability"
Public transport as (part of) the solution
6
Individual Motorised vs. Public Transport
Poverty and distri-butional aspects
Environmental aspects
Individual motorised transport
affordable mainly to richer population usually does not pay for external costs (congestion, pollution, accidents)
up to 10 times more energy consumption of cars vs. buses / trams / metro much higher pollution of motorcycles and cars vs. buses (esp. if CNG powered) and tram / metro systems
Public transport systems (bus, tram, metro)
affordable to broader population poverty targeting possible
7
Efficient public transport: Main Challenges
Planning, implementation, management
Financial resources / Funding
8
Role of (bilateral) development banks
Providing advice on transport system design, implementation and operation
Providing funding at favourable conditions to match long maturities of transport infrastructure investments
KfW involvement:Planning and financial support for commuter and urban mass rapid transport systems in China, Colombia, Indonesia, Tunisia and Turkey

For Discussion: Challenges for the (Bilateral) Development Banks
Transport-specific
More general (urban infrastructure / development)
