Urban Innovations and Best Practices: Urban Public Transport: Case Study of PPP in Beijing
Asian Development Bank | November 2010
Abstract
Rising incomes and increasing urbanization tend to bring about increased demand for mobility, often in the form of personal mobility, such as cars, as well as increasing motorization. Coupled with reduced car ownership restrictions in the PRC, conditions are ripe for worsening congestion and traffic conditions as well as deteriorating air quality in urban areas. This is already happening in several large cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Xiamen. Large investments in roads capacity and viable public transport systems, such as subway systems, as alternatives to car travel are clearly needed.

Urban Innovations and Best Practices: Retrofitting Sustainable Urban Development Practices: Urban Public Transport
Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2010-11-15)Fast-growing cities in developing countries are often plagued by the twin problems of congestion and inadequate public transport systems. In some cases, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system can help to bridge the gap. By using dedicated bus lanes to develop a moderately rapid mass transit system, a BRT system generally requires lower infrastructure investment as compared with a subway or light rail ...Fast-growing cities in developing countries are often plagued by the twin problems of congestion and inadequate public transport systems.

Social Exclusion: Concept, Application, and Scrutiny
Sen, Amartya (Asian Development Bank, 2000-06-30)This paper is the first in a series of Social Development Papers, which are being issued to promote discussion of social development issues that influence development and poverty reduction. We are pleased that the inaugural paper in the series is an exposition by Nobel laureate Amartya Sen on an important and often overlooked dimension of poverty–social exclusion.This paper is the first in a series of Social Development Papers, which are being issued to promote discussion of social development issues that influence development and poverty reduction.

Urban Innovations and Best Practices: Urban Water Supply: Case Study of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Maanshan
Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2010-11-15)Of the 660 large cities in the PRC, more than 400 are expected to face chronic water shortages. This is exacerbated by the (i) uneven distribution of water resources between the north and south regions of the PRC, (ii) industrial pollution contaminating many water sources, (iii) over-extraction, and (iv) relatively inefficient use of available water resources. The public urban water and sewerage ...Of the 660 large cities in the PRC, more than 400 are expected to face chronic water shortages.

Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2010-04-15)Cities in India have been the “engine of economic growth.” But realizing future economic growth hinges on whether or not Indian cities can be made more efficient, livable, inclusive, and competitive. To achieve this, it is essential to strengthen urban governance and management through greater decentralization and enhanced accountability, and establish appropriate delivery mechanisms and regulatory ...Cities in India have been the “engine of economic growth.” But realizing future economic growth hinges on whether or not Indian cities can be made more efficient, livable, inclusive, and competitive.
