The Asia-Pacific region is home to more than two billion urban residents, representing 55 per cent of the world’s urban population — a figure set to rise to 64 per cent by 2050.1 Unprecedented population growth and the expansion of Asian cities are putting tremendous pressure on urban transport systems, while the rapid growth of private vehicle ownership has led to worsening traffic congestion, increasing fossil fuel consumption, and greater road traffic crashes, car emissions and air pollution.
