MILLENNIUM CITIES DATABASE FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT. ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

UITP has compiled a database of 100 of the world's cities , known as the "Millennium Cities", in collaboration with Murdock University, Australia. The data collected concerns demographics, economies and urban structure, the car population, taxis, the road network, parking, public transit networks, the mobility of individuals, the choice of transit mode and transit system efficiency and its environmental impact. In total, 66 raw indicators have been investigated in the 100 selected cities. The database represents a remarkable step forward in ascertaining the economics of mobility in those cities. The database and the analysis of the results provide the means to develop a set of arguments in favor of sustainable mobility and public transit in order to advise international bodies and policy makers in the course of their reflections and actions.
