Sustainable Mobility Project
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and 15 of its member companies have developed a global framework to support integrated planning and implementation of urban sustainable mobility, relying on a fact-based and collaborative approach. The Sustainable Mobility Project (SMP) 2.0 framework has been tested in six cities (Chengdu, Bangkok, Indore, Hamburg, Lisbon, and Campinas) over the last three years, and some of the cities utilized this methodology to develop their own Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans following their local requirements.
The SMP 2.0 process in cities starts with the calculation of 22 sustainable mobility indicators to trigger an objective identification of the city’s priority areas. This leads to an alignment across various local authorities on their sustainable transport strategy. Based on the local circumstances and the priorities identified, a set of suitable mobility solutions including finance options is developed. Several solutions can also be used to test how they can encourage behavioral change and environmental sustainability
We adopted the SMP 2.0 framework in pursuit of providing viable solutions to Metro Manila’s worsening traffic situation.
