Sustainable Urban Development: In China, Itdp Began A Transformative, Four-Year Global Environment Facility (Gef)- And World Bank-Funded Project In Tianjin To Develop A City-Wide Tod Strategy For The City. The Strategy Will Guide The Incorporation Of Tod Principles Into City Planning And Policies In Order To Promote Compact Cities With Extensive, Accessible Transit And Low-Carbon Transport Options. The Needs Of Low-Income Groups, Gender Dimensions, And Resilience Will Also Be Considered In The Tod Approach. Itdp''s Successes Will Be Shared In A National Platform To Spur Quick Replication In The Other Cities And Inspire Cities Outside The Project. Itdp Expanded And Strengthened Sustainable Transport Improvements In Guangzhou To Ensure That It Continues To Serve As A Model For Cities Within China And Globally. Tianjin Is On Its Way To Becoming A Best Practice Tod City For The Region. In 2018, Itdp Began An Extensive, Four-Year Global Environment Facility (Gef)- And World Bank-Funded Project To Develop A Transformative, Citywide Tod Strategy For Tianjin, China. As Part Of A Network Of Seven Cities Conducting Similar Projects, The Project Presents A Unique Scale-Up Opportunity. In India, Itdp Developed The Potentially Pivotal Jharkhand State Urban Transport Policy That Will Prioritize Sustainable Low-Carbon Urban Mobility Throughout The State. In Addition To Reducing The Burden On Limited Resources Through More Sustainable Investments, Itdp Included In Policy Specific Goals Like Making Sustainable Modes Of Transport Account For At Least 80 Percent Of All Personal Trips, Guaranteeing That At Least 60 Percent Of Jobs In The City Are Within A 500-Meter Walk Of Public Transport Services, And That All Public Facilities-Public Transport, Non-Motorized Transport, Public Spaces, And Public Buildings-Become Universally Accessible By All. Despite Some Degree Of Reduced Momentum Due To The Transition Of Key Personnel Within The Administration, Itdp Is Actively Engaging With Senior Bureaucrats To Advance Its Adoption By Late 2019. Itdp Is Now Working With The Ranchi Smart City Limited To Incorporate The Principles Of A Groundbreaking State-Level Transit-Oriented Development (Tod) Policy Into The City''s Area Based Development.In Brazil, Itdp''s Mobilidados Database Of Urban Mobility And Development Indicators Across Brazilian Cities Has Become An Influential Resource For Decision-Makers And Planners In Brazil And Has Served As A Lever For Dialogue Between The Public Sector And Civil Society. In 2018, Eight New Indicators Were Added, Including New General Data (Including Black Population, Households Below Minimum Wage, And Percentage Of Women) And Three Metropolitan Areas (Salvador, Fortaleza, And Belem). The Platform Now Has Over 20 Indicators Covering 27 Cities And Nine Metropolitan Areas. In An Effort To Update Mobilidados And Utilize It For Policy Creation, Itdp Has Been Recruiting Partners That Can Help Provide Local Information And Assist In Advocating For Local Authorities To Share Data And Adopt Evidence-Based Communication And Planning Processes. During This Process In Rio De Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Recife, And Belo Horizonte, Itdp Formalized Cooperation Agreements With Five Organizations: Iema, Nossabh, Habitatgeo, Ameciclo, And Casa Fluminense. Itdp Also Conducted Four Workshops That, In Total, Gathered 68 Participants From 52 Organizations, Including Civil Society (53%), Academia (19%), The Public Sector (14%), And The Private Sector (9%). The Workshops Identified The Current And New Indicators That Represent Common Interests Among The Organizations And Explored Joint Efforts To Work On A Common Agenda Involving Multiple Cities. The Mobilidados Platform Attracted The Interest Of Mainstream Media In The Country And Secured Itdp The Opportunity To Insert Quotes And Interviews In Many Outlets Such As Globonews, Cbn, Tv O Globo, Jornal O Globo, Estadao, Folha De Sao Paulo And Correio Braziliense. One Noteworthy Example Was Itdp''s Inclusion In Several Episodes Of "Em Movimento", An 11-Part Series Presented By Globonews, The Main Journalism Channel In Brazil. In Each Episode, Experts Comment On The Current Mobility Landscape And The Challenges Facing Sustainable Mobility In Brazil. "Em Movimentio" Episodes Were Shown On Repeat, Which Has Led To A Diverse Array Of Partners And Government Officials Acknowledging Itdp''s Participation. As A Result Of Advocacy And Capacity-Building Around Mobility Indicators, Itdp''s Indicators Are Increasingly Being Adopted By Cities And The National Government. In Particular, The People Near Transit (Pnt) And People Near Bike (Pnb) Indicators-Which Measure The Number Of Residents In A City Who Live Within Walking Distance (1 Km) Of High-Quality Rapid Transit Or Bikes Lanes, Respectively-Are Gaining Traction As Key Metrics To Help Measure Current Conditions And Spur Increased Investment In Sustainable Transport. With Itdp''s Support, Belo Horizonte Is Utilizing Both Pnt And Pnb In The Definition Of Short, Medium, And Long Term Targets That Will Be Included In The Next Belo Horizonte Mobility Report, As Well As In An Analysis Of City Progress Son Urban Mobility Plan Strategic Objectives. In Braslia, The City Officially Adopted The Pnb Indicator To Monitor Its Recently Launched Cycling Policy. In Rio De Janeiro, Itdp''s Advocacy Led The Instituto Pereira Passos To Update The Social Progress Index-A Global Methodology The City Adopted To Measure Social Progress-Based On Pnt Data As Calculated By Itdp. In Indonesia, A Pilot Kampung (Local Urban Village) Improvement Program Was Launched In October 2018 Through A Close Collaboration Between Itdp And The Local Communities. This Has Resulted In Safer Streets For Vulnerable Residents And Better Connections To Public Transport. Thanks To The Successful Pilot, The Jakarta Government Invited Itdp To Expand The Program To A Total Of Around 150 Kampung Locations Throughout Jakarta In 2019. Itdp Developed A Station Area Plan For The Karet-Setiabudi Station As A Conceptual Tod Plan. Several Of The Elements Have Been Adopted And Will Be Implemented In The Pilot Area In Dukuh Atas By Pt.Mrt. According To The New Governor''s Decree, Station Area Plans Around Mrt Stations Will Be The Responsibility Of Pt.Mrt, Which Is Mandated To Develop Them As Tod Areas. Itdp Successfully Pushed Pt.Mrt To Adopt Some Of Itdp''s Tod Principles Into Their Designs. In November 2018, Itdp Formally Presented The Paradigm Shift In Urban Development And Density Which Recommends Development Controls Outside Station Areas. The Recommendations Focus On Creating Higher Density Developments Within One Kilometer Of Transit Stations. This Is Also Part Of The Revision Of The Geospatial Planning Document (Rtrw) And The Local Building And Planning Codes Around Station Areas. In Kenya, As Part Of The Government Of Kenya''s Big 4 Agenda, The Country Intends To Accelerate The Construction Of Affordable Housing. Through Tod, These Projects Present The Opportunity To Develop Affordable Housing Along Planned Rapid Transit Corridors To Ease The Movement Of Nairobi Residents And Improve Access To Jobs, Education, And Other Opportunities. To Facilitate Dialogue Surrounding Tod Policy Reforms In Nairobi, Itdp, In Collaboration With Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (Namata), Organized A Stakeholder Workshop On December 6, 2018. The Workshop Brought Together Officials From Nairobi City County (Ncc); The County Government Of Kiambu; Namata; The Ministry Of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development, And Public Works; The Developer Community; University Of Nairobi; And The Upper Hill District Association.
