Dear colleagues,
on Thursday, September 25, the next GIZ-SUTP webinar on the Sustainable Urban Transport Master Plan for Windhoek will take place. You’ll find further information below and on CAPSUT (http://capsut.org/events/the-sustainable-urban-transport-master-plan-of-windhoek-namibia/).

Urban Mobility Planning is an strategic approach to achieve a broad set of targets, e.g. reducing air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, road accidents and increasing the access to safe, clean and affordable mobility for all population groups. The Sustainable Urban Transport Master Plan (SUTMP) Windhoek, Namibia, presents the most forward-looking vision for urban mobility on the African continent and will contribute to solving transport-related challenges in the agglomeration. Learn more about the development of the SUTMP Windhoek in GIZ-SUTP’s webinar on this Thursday, September, 25.

Please feel free to share this invitation with interested colleagues and project partners.

Programme

Worldwide, capitals, cities and urban areas are facing increasing environmental, social and economic challenges caused by inefficient urban transport systems. This results in reduced accessibility for the urban poor, traffic congestion, road and parking facility costs, traffic accidents, high consumer costs, energy dependence and pollution emissions, plus inadequate mobility for non-drivers.

Urban mobility plans like Windhoek’s SUTMP expanded the scope of traditional planning processes by strategically focusing on overarching policy goals as well as on the factual mobility needs of all population groups.

The Webinar will give insights into strategy and objectives as well as into the development process of the SUTMP Windhoek.
The webinar will be conducted by Gregor Schmorl, Michael Engelskirchen (GIZ Namibia) and a representative of the city of Windhoek (enquired).

Target audience

The webinar addresses local decision-makers and planners, representatives from all levels of government, and agencies interested in learning about how to strategically advance sustainable mobility in urban areas.
