Dear Friends,  

Over the last few months you have been working with me on resources for
Sustainable Transportation in the Developing World.  Today we are
pleased to announce the on-line launch of these resources.  Read on, and
please forward to your colleagues and associates...

Moving the Economy and the Canadian International Development Agency
(CIDA)are pleased to present valuable new online resources related to
cities in the developing world - Mobility in the Developing World and
Sustainable Transportation Live!

Visitors to the new site - at www.movingtheeconomy.ca - will have the
opportunity to learn how cities in Africa, Latin America and Asia are
taking the lead in tackling congestion, pollution, goods movement,
employment, environmental quality, and more, through sustainable
transportation.

The site, which is for visitors to access through the support of CIDA,
breaks new ground in providing vital and timely information,
including:

- A database of 20 sustainable transportation case studies from the
developing world, with links to more detailed descriptions and contact
information;
- Sustainable Transportation Live, featuring direct links to dozens of
sites that gather and share sustainable transportation/new mobility case
studies;
- Common themes in urban transportation - a brief on the elements of
urban transportation that are shared by growing cities around the world,
and how cities are using transportation solutions to address poverty,
job creation, quality of life, infrastructure, and pollution!

Follow this link to visit Mobility In The Developing World and
Sustainable Transportation Live: www.movingtheeconomy.ca 

Moving the Economy and CIDA acknowledge the help and support of
UN-Habitat and the International Council for Local Environmental
Initiatives in the development of this project.
