[sustran] Transportation options for developing and transitioning countries?

[SUSTRAN Resource Centre]

Dear sustran-discussers

I have received this request from Barney Popkin, a consultant to ICLEI. I
have directed him to the materials on the SUSTRAN Network web site
(http://www.malaysiakini.com/sustran/). 

However, if anyone has recent materials or particular favourites that you
would like to draw to his attention then please do!  And of course, I would
also be very interested to hear about them.
