Sustainable Urban Transport in Chiang Mai
Project Summary
The main project development objective is to improve the technical capacity of CMM for sustainable urban transport development, through technical support on integrated land use and sustainable urban transport planning and pilot demonstration of NMT improvement. This is expected to lead to increased role of more effective and less energy-intensive forms of urban travel including an improved public transport system and NMT (walking, bicycles, bicycle taxis), which will in turn result in long-term reduction of vehicular greenhouse gas emissions.
