Resource information
The paper's main objectives are to
provide a common thematic basis for urban transport inputs
into the making of country-specific assistance strategies,
and thereafter to guide urban transport project and sector
work included in the business plans agreed under these
strategies. It is a companion volume to the forthcoming ECA
Transport Strategy Paper, which covers all modes of
transport. It also represents a bridge between the
project-related and policy studies done for specific
cities/countries in ECA, and the Bank-wide urban transport
policy, whose latest expression is the document Cities on
the Move: The World Bank Urban Transport Strategy Review,
published in August 2002. Also, urban transport activities
being highly interdependent with other aspects of urban life
and economy, this paper is related to parallel Bank writings
on urban development, water, and environment in the ECA region.
