Urban travel markets and transport modes in the cities of the developing world exhibit a rich variety, reflecting dynamic interactions between demographic, spatial and economic growth processes therein. Walking, biking and basic public transport services are essential for low-income urban communities, whereas the higher-income, motorized households and businesses tend to demand good road networks and high-quality public transport systems.

The mission of the Urban Transport Thematic Group of the World Bank is to monitor and understand these complex happenings in the client cities and the world, place them in a common perspective, and,  in response, develop a unified strategic framework and, on a selective basis, relevant guidelines and tools. This overall strategy is used as a starting point for addressing country- and city-specific situations, in the context of Bank's advisory and lending assistance to member governments.

This site provides links to formal and informal publications of the World Bank related to the subject of urban transport. Publications are organized by topic as shown in the left navigation bar of this screen. All formal reports are also included in the overall transport listing, by publication series.
