A Strategic Partnership Program is proposed between China, the GEF and the World Bank to achieve a paradigm shift in the development of China’s currently unsustainable urban transport systems. The Program would comprise (a) a 'core' urban transport strategy, policy, legal reform and capacity-building project and (b) a subsequent series of 5-8 environmentally-sustainable urban transport development projects in mid-sized/large Chinese cities (with population greater than 500,000 and significant replication potential) that would demonstrate the results of the initial ‘core’ Project and promote its replication nation-wide. The key objective is to bring about a paradigm shift in the manner urban transport infrastructure and services are planned, designed , managed, and operated to a more sustainable approach that limits energy consumption and GHG emissions.
