In Asia, since 2019, ADB and AFD are jointly implementing the MobiliseYourCity Partnership in the region. Funded by the European Union, the French and the German Governments, MobiliseYourCity has become the leading global Partnership for sustainable urban mobility planning, policy development, and increasing investment for sustainable transport in developing and emerging economies. In Asia, ADB and AFD are active in the sector of mobility planning under the MobiliseYourCity Partnership and support cities and countries in planning urban mobility for transformative changes and to implement mobility projects.
Objectives
The Event will promote the MobiliseYourCity Partnership in the region by:
- Sharing the achievements and ongoing activities in the region. MobiliseYourCity implementing partners shall present actionable solutions to improve mobility planning and financing tools to foster green and just mobility transition.
- Learning from peers (i.e., regional MobiliseYourCity members) by discussing the keys of successful projects and highlighting the challenges and constraints to overcome. Regional (city or/and country) members will present their own achievements and initiate dialogue with other members.
- Training delegates on innovations developed under the MobiliseYourCity Partnership in the context of sustainable urban mobility plans. These plans include strong innovations to trigger the process of change in urban mobility planning.
