Who you can help me out on this one???

I'm in a bit of a predicament because a collegue of mine promised he
would write a paper on "Sustainable Urban Transport for the Majority"
for a FOCUS broschure edited by GATE (German Appropriate Technology
Exchange -a German development aid institution) which is to be published
in fall 1998. About 20000 copies of this broschure will be distributed.
The deadline is END OF JUNE and he just informed me that he can't write
it.

The article should be written in English and be about 4 pages long. Four
pages would be renumerated at 250 DM per page (ie. a total of 1000 DM).
If you could send pictures, they would be another 80 DM per picture
published.

It would be great to have urban examples from different continents (ie.
Africa, Asia (both China and India), Latin America) in the article.
The focus could be on both pedestrians and cyclists. The issues of
pollution and lack of safety for the sustainable modes
should of course be addressed.

The pictures to be used in the FOCUS brochure "Mobility for the
Majority" can be either slides or printed pictures - the main thing is a
good quality image. The pictures should also have detailed infos. about
the contents of the picture so that the describing text fits well.
Your slides or printed photos will be sent back to you after usage.

Possible topics for pictures:
- POSITIVE IMAGES OF pedestrians, cyclists, animal driven vehicles
  (how proud these users can be; how useful it is; how happy users are)
- both rural and urban pictures
- world-wide examples (eg. China, India, Africa, Latin America)
- The greening of transport (how a city can be more liveable if
  sustainable transport modes are chosen)
- Cyclist behind a "black-smoke" truck (negative impact of
  motorized modes)
- traffic jams with cyclists and pedestrians still "on the go"
- pictures showing that sustainable transport modes are the way to go
  for the majority (eg. cycle rickshaws in Bangladesch from a birds
eye   perspective)

++++ any pictures you think would be useful in addition...


PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP IF YOU COULD HELP ME OUT ON THIS ONE??!!
