Urban Transport: The Beating Heart of City Productivity

Where should city leaders start on the journey towards cohesive, intelligence-led transport improvements?

As social, economic and capacity pressures on urban transport and city planning schemes continue unabated, where do city leaders start on the journey towards cohesive, intelligence-led transport improvements? How do they deliver all things to all people—not just transport that gets city dwellers from a to b, but transport that is economically viable, meets current and future housing and commercial needs, and is socially inclusive. It must also reflect 21st century concerns about global warming and sustainability.

Capgemini has developed a maturity model that plots a path towards effective urban transport improvement. Where each city’s transport strategy is on this model will depend on a wide range of conditions and attitudes that are covered in this report. However, what remains consistent is the need for effective planning and implementation as integral parts of a modern urban transport infrastructure, subsequently backed up by an ongoing operational focus that ensures sustainability.

We suggest that there are three specific areas of focus that will make urban transport improvement a reality: strategic planning, governance and demand management.
