Samenvatting
Urban transport is one of the most important sectors having a direct bearing on sustainable development because of the high growth of the transport sector's energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This becomes more important in the case of Pakistan where the motor vehicle fleet is growing at two to three times the rate of population.
