While only 5.7 % of its population owned a car in 2003, this figure rose to over 23% in 2018. The concentration of PM2.5 exceeds international guidelines by 5.3 times. The intensive use of old vehicles in a city walled in by mountains has resulted in critically poor air quality. In Tashkent, air pollution has reached a critical point with land vehicles estimated to produce roughly two thirds of air pollution. Motorization has increased by c.16% since 2016 and is expected to continue growing as urban population and income increase. Local particulate emissions in Tashkent are consistently above safe levels, averaging 130% of the WHO’s daily exposure limits. Against this backdrop, this project aims to support Almaty and Tashkent municipalities in the implementation of their smart citiy strategies, drawing upon Korea’s expertise and leveraging on the adoption of smart city technologies to improve mobility conditions and reduce localized emissions. This proposal reflects the requests from the municipalities of Almaty and Tashkent to support the implementation of their smart cities strategies and to improve growing congestion and their environmental impacts while responding to immediate COVID related issues.

Chesheva, (Co-TTLs) Andre Rodrigues de Aquino, Xavier F. P. Vincent, Amilia Aldian, Ninan Oommen Biju, Tomas Herrero Diez, David Wignall Grant Start/Completion: September 13, 2021 – June 30, 2023Grant ActivitiesProject summaryAs an archipelago nation with over 17,000 islands, Indonesia relies heavily on sea transport to foster domestic social and economic development and international trade. However, while developing this network, limited attention has been paid to the environmental protection, the disaster and climate change mitigation and resilience, the adoption of energy-efficiency technologies, the implementation of adequate general waste disposal facilities, and the sector decarbonization. Consequently, the Indonesian port system and the vessels being served by it have been identified as a major energy consumer, waste generator, and greenhouse (GHG) emissions contributor. Eastern Indonesia has a particularly high dependency on port infrastructure because of its geography of population on many islands and the remote locations of those islands. In particular, COVID-19 has posed a threat to the continuity of critical sea transport supply chains and maintaining availability and stable prices for basic consumer goods across the archipelago. Against this backdrop, the objective of this project is to promote inclusive green growth in the maritime sector in Indonesia, which can facilitate economic growth, job creation, and post-pandemic recovery. It will identify opportunities and provide practical recommendations for greening the maritime sector (including port infrastructure, related industrial and logistics facilities, vessels, and fishery practices), while enhancing connectivity, and pandemic preparedness and readiness.

There is a global consensus that transitioning to greener mobility will be crucial to the overall success of the climate agenda. Many cities are increasingly facing challenges of high motorization and congestion which undermine their sustainable growth, damage living conditions, and increase the environmental footprint. With the rapid pace of urbanization, the concept of green mobility and walkable cities is becoming imperative for inclusive and sustainable growth, creating high demand for design and implementation of green mobility actions. The proposed activity covers two similar cities of Cambodia (Siem Reap) and Lao PDR (Luang Prabang), that are included on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Both cities are having significant cultural, historical and economic value and both are facing similar development challenges: increased motorization, unplanned land use and disordered transport systems expansion, driven by growing tourist numbers. These problems put their future sustainable and inclusive growth at risk but are also creating an opportunity for learning from each other’s experiences and benefiting from synergies in the application of innovative solutions. To implement this program the World Bank KGGTF team will work to strengthen and grow partnerships with institutions in Korea, facilitate knowledge exchange and exposure to best practices, and build innovative tools for the two beneficiary cities.

Cairo is one of the five most congested and polluted cities in the world. It accounts for 25% of Egypt’s population and half of its GDP. A World Bank study estimated the costs of congestion in the Greater Cairo Metro Area at 3.6 percent of the country’s GDP. While the Government of Egypt is investing in mass transit transport projects, rapid urban and population growth and increasing motorization warrant the development of a comprehensive strategy to enhance the economic competitiveness of the metropolitan area and the country itself. This project aims at collecting data to develop a Green Transport Master Plan and a crowdsourcing, multi-platform, integrated big data system for tracking traffic, congestion, and accidents in Egypt, starting with the Greater Cairo Region. The data system will support the planning and regulating of urban traffic and development plans. Currently, no agency is systematically collecting urban traffic data, despite the extensive congestion, especially in the Greater Cairo Region. The team responsible for the execution of this activity will partner with the Korea Transport Institute (KOTI), the Korean Energy Agency (KEA) and the Green Technology Center-Korea (GTC-K) to share results, build on existing knowledge on Urban Transport Planning, and leverage digital technologies for Smart Cities development and management.

Many cities in the developing world are embarking on transit reforms, of which Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are key elements. The impetus is driven by the need to address the negative externalities generated by the often low-regulated traditional bus system congestions, traffic-related accidents, GHG and local pollutant emissions. Many reforms are also driven by the notion that restructuring the supply chain, applying stricter quality control and more efficient regulations will ultimately result in meeting passenger needs in terms of improved accessibility, affordability and safety. This activity will promote a resilient, greener, intelligent, and sustainable urban mobility model in LAC cities by developing a toolkit with three modules: (i) a manual to foster diagnosis of ITS systems; (ii) a manual to ease integral implementation of ITS systems, and (iii) an open source platform to support city-wide reform by integrating privately generated data into public planning and operating processes. This activity will be starting with LAC cities such as Mexico (CDMX), the largest and most populated metropolis in Latin America and the output would be reusable and replicable worldwide. An international example of how to assimilate a conventional bus system into a city-wide integrated scheme, learned from comprehensive reform undertaken in Seoul, will serve as an important reference.

In Hanoi’s pursuit of promoting sustainable growth and attracting new users to public transport, the government has issued an Urban Transport Masterplan including eight new metro lines, three of which are currently under construction, along with complementary BRT lines. The World Bank recently completed a lending project for construction of the first BRT line in Hanoi. To build on the momentum of this BRT line and continue to promote a shift to increased use of public transport, it is critical that the next mass transit corridor selected for design and construction maximize impact, drawing in the most passengers from less sustainable modes, while providing safe, clean, and efficient access to the city’s job centers. In order to assess the mass transit corridors that can provide the greatest benefit, this KGGTF program will fund a network-wide accessibility analysis of the proposed mass transit corridors. This analysis will include any potential for bus route rationalization as it fits in with the future mass transit network. The importance of such an analysis is significant in providing decision makers information that enables them to maximize the social, environmental, and economic return on future investments.
