      • Emissions from mobility will increase through 2050, jeopardising our chances to combat climate change. By electrifying urban fleets, we can mitigate more than 70% of mobility CO2 urban emissions, remove 50% of city air pollution, and electrify rides to everyone - making the electrification transition more effective and equitable.

    Cities can grow both vertically and horizontally. In other words, cities can grow either by building upward and filling the open spaces between existing buildings, or by building outwards through new urban areas. Most of the horizontal expansion in urban areas occurs through new settlements on undeveloped land. This is especially true for cities in...

    To explore the impact of urban transport projects on the use of land, the IEG assessment looked closely at three transportation corridors financed by the World Bank in Maputo, Mozambique and Mumbai, India. The study found that in Maputo, the horizontal density - the number of people living and working along a given transportation corridor – increas...

    There are three specific areas where the World Bank can enhance its support to countries in managing their urban spatial growth through urban transport. 1. The World Bank should adopt an integrated framework that links determinants of urban expansion, including urban transport, with strategies for managing it. Such a framework could act as a refere...

  4. Oct 3, 2021 · Urban transportation is central to the effort to slow climate change. It can’t be done by just switching to electric cars. Several cities are starting to electrify mass transit.

  5. Transport electrification can simultaneously contribute to sustainable urban mobility by enhancing vehicle energy efficiency and supporting the shift towards public transport and active mobility.

  6. Urban transport. Movement restrictions, lockdowns and border closures during the Covid-19 pandemic have transformed personal mobility in cities, heavily reducing energy demand. A range of crisis-induced factors could influence the energy intensity of urban mobility.

  7. May 12, 2023 · The electrification of transportation describes the process of replacing fossil fuels with electricity as the means to power light-duty vehicles, trucks, and buses. It’s an inevitable transition, given growing concerns surrounding climate change, a rise in government-sanctioned regulations, and rapid technological advancements.
