[sustran] Re: (fwd) [UTSG] transport strategy transfer

[Gabrielle Hermann]

Hi Walter and others,

Quick follow-up question.  What cities have changed
their minds about building a highway or metro system
upon hearing about (from Penalosa and others) or
seeing Transmilenio? I know that Lima did, and I seem
to remember hearing about a few African cities doing
the same. 

Thanks,

Gabrielle
