TRANSPORT WITHIN SUSTAINABLE CITIES
Mobility is an enabler for urban life in large and small cities alike . The creation of affordable , reliable , and low-emission transportation for people — which is efficient and economical for freight and business — remains a key dimension in urban planning and city-level industrial development . Having adequate transport infrastructure , together with inclusive and sustainable industrialisation , is a precursor to economic development , job creation and prosperity . Therefore , the provision of sustainable mobility requires policy-makers and planners to understand and incorporate the needs of different societal stakeholders into policy frameworks for providing both public and private transport .
The recently adopted Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ) include sustainable transport objectives as part of SDG 7 on clean and sustainable energy , SDG 9 on innovation , industrialisation and infrastructure , and SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities , among others . UNIDO aims to promote sustainable transportation that supports the inclusive and sustainable industrial development of its member states . These interventions will focus on promoting higher efficiency , low-carbon production throughout the vehicle manufacturing supply chain , fostering enabling policy frameworks , building and strengthening local capacities and enhancing knowledge transfer and innovation .
