[sustran] New documents : Benin - NMT, Germany - street paving

[Robert Bartlett]

I wanted to inform you that another (free) document in the "global transport" series is now available. This one is on different types of NMT presently in use in Benin. Prepared with Placide Badji of Benin, who has a degree in civil engineering and an MSc. in Transport Economics.

The basic argument behind this series is that roads should be designed for the modes of transport used locally rather than for the modes of transport seen in the UK (e.g.)

Also available (but not for free) is a document on "Urban best practice - street paving in Germany" which looks at one local town's efforts to use paving to help preserve its good appearance.

Both documents can be downloaded from
