[SUTP Team]

GTZ SUTP’s flagship publication “Sustainable Urban Transport: A 
Sourcebook for Policy-makers in Developing Countries” has been adapted 
for the South Asian audience and is available as a print version. The 
South Asian version of the sourcebook is titled “Sustainable Urban 
Transport: A Sourcebook for Policy-makers in South Asian Cities”. The 
two volumes of this edition contain 12 modules specifically selected and 
adapted for the South Asian context.

Dr. Ramachandran, Secretary to the Government of India (Urban 
Development), Ministry of Urban Development, underlines in his foreword: 
“The Sourcebook can serve as a toolkit for policy-makers in the state 
and city governments and support them in adopting sustainable transport 
solutions for their respective cities”. Prof. Shivanand Swamy, Associate 
Director, CEPT, points out in his preface to the publication: “that [it] 
will provide guidance to the city administrators and planners in a 
variety of topics from urban transport institutions to details of 
planning for non-motorized transport, including other important issues 
such as bus regulation and planning and bus rapid transit.”

Both dignitaries agree that the publication would increase the 
understanding of the readers on various urban transport issues and help 
policy-makers make sustainable choices for their cities. The sourcebook 
supports the view of the National Urban Transport Policy-2006 (NUTP)'s 
recommendation on moving people and not vehicles, among various other 
principles.

The above mentioned edition is published by McMillan Publishers, New 
Delhi and is available for purchase from the publishers. Queries about 
purchasing the print copies can be sent to sutp[at]sutp.org or to Mr. 
Santhosh Kodukula (santhoshk.kodukula[at]gtz.de).
