Urban Mobility: 10 Cities Leading the Way in Asia-Pacific
As inner-city congestion increases owing to populations rise, a new publication from the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) sets out how 10 cities in Asia-Pacific are developing solutions to this pressing challenge. Urban Mobility: 10 Cities Leading the Way in Asia Pacific was launched at the 2017 ULI Asia Pacific Summit in Singapore.
The report analyses each city’s strategic plans and bold implementation of mobility projects. The ten cities in the report are
- Seoul, South Korea;
- Shanghai, China;
- Singapore;
- Suwon, South Korea;
- Taipei, Taiwan;
- Tokyo, Japan;
- Bandung, Indonesia;
- Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam;
- Sydney, Australia and
- Yangon,
While each of these 10 cities has its own set of problems, they all share a common goal: to establish a sustainable mobility system. The benefits of such a system are diverse: reduced congestion and stress, improved quality of the environment, healthier choices and expanded development opportunities, which will enhance the lives of the people, both physically and mentally.
Creating Liveable Cities Through Car-Lite Urban Mobility
Creating Liveable Cities Through Car-lite Urban Mobility represents the latest collaboration between the Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) and the Urban Land Institute (ULI). The study analyses the range of non-private car transportation options, including active mobility, shared cars, and autonomous vehicles, that will allow cities to become more ‘car-lite’ so that people can enjoy environmental, social and economic benefits at the same time.
10 ideas are proposed to prepare cities for a ‘car-lite’ urban mobility future. These ideas cut across multiple disciplines and stakeholder interests, ranging from integrating urban planning with transportation, managing car park supply and demand, to changing cultural mindsets. Above all, the study advocates a people-oriented and multi-stakeholder collaborative approach for urban and transport decisions in order to sustain the paradigm shift towards a ‘car-lite’ future.
The publication offers valuable guidance to Singapore and other cities facing similar challenges.

Creating Healthy Cities though Active Mobility
Creating Healthy Places through Active Mobility, a collaborative research project between the Centre for Liveable Cities and Urban Land Institute, explores why and how we should make our urban environment friendlier to walking and cycling. In this book, which publishes the findings of that research, we discuss infrastructure design and policies of cities such as Amsterdam, Copenhagen, New York, Seoul and Taipei which have adopted active mobility as central to their trans formative strategies for building healthy, vibrant, and liveable cities. The book also presents ideas for promoting active mobility based on workshops led by global expert Jan Gehl.

Typhoon Yolanda and Tacloban, Philippines – Initial Review Report
Natural disasters occur frequently in the Philippines and other countries in the region. As one of the principles in ULI’s Ten Principles for Metro Manila’s New Urban Core, “being prepared” is essential to ensure that the devastation caused by natural disasters is minimized. With concern growing over the impact of climate change, it is good to understand the importance of resiliency and livability in addition to sustainability. Cities and communities that are vulnerable to natural disasters should learn from each other and be better prepared to prevent loss of lives and to minimize damage to property, businesses, and people’s economic livelihoods.
