City transportation systems around the world are undergoing significant transformation due to technological advancements, changing urban landscapes, and evolving expectations from residents. Traffic congestion, air pollution, and inefficient use of resources are common challenges that transport operators across cities are grappling with. To address these issues, cities need to adopt a smart and sustainable approach to transportation, involving technology integration to optimize traffic flow, reduce emissions, and enhance the overall user experience. Frost & Sullivan has identified 10 global cities actively working towards improving their sustainable modal share. This analysis provides a comparative look at each city's progress towards its sustainable transport development goals.
Key Features
The global cities featured in this study are Mumbai, Copenhagen, Dubai, New York, Singapore, Lisbon, London, Shenzhen, Budapest, and Buenos Aires. The analysis focuses on sustainable transport strategies and offers the following:
- Detailed profiles of each city and its public transport development strategies
- An overview of policies aimed at reducing private car usage
- A deep dive into public transport usage statistics and upcoming projects
- An assessment of governance models, electrification strategies, and the impact of technology and policy interventions on the future of transport ecosystems
