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 from the set of 26 modules of the Sourcebook, 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 for the publication: “It is very timely that the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) is releasing its “Sustainable Transport: A Sourcebook for Policy-makers in South Asian Cities”. 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. There are chapters in this sourcebook that emphasise the various issues highlighted in the NUTP and can provide wider understanding for the readers on these issues.” Prof. Shivanand Swamy, Associate Director, CEPT, points out in the preface for the publication: “GTZ's Sourcebook – “Sustainable Urban Transport: a Sourcebook for Policy-makers in South Asian Cities” is a central publication that 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.
