[sustran] GTZ releases a Reading List on Non-motorised Transport

[SUTP Team]

  A broad definition of NMT would be any kind of a transport system that 
would not run on a motor. Some such examples are walking, cycling, 
rickshaws etc. Including these modes is very important should a city aim 
to be sustainable in terms of transport. In developing cities, there is 
a huge echelon of the society that is very dependent on the NMT modes 
mentioned above. The urban poor used walking and cycling as their basic 
means to access their work. Depriving them of NMT would be snatching 
their daily bread and pushing them deeper into destitution.

The current document is one of the several efforts of GTZ-Sustainable 
Urban Transport Project to bring to the policymakers an easy to access 
list of available material on NMT which can be sued in their everyday 
work. The document aims to list out some influential and informative 
resources that highlight the importance of NMT in cities and how the 
existing situation could be improved.
