The paper provides an overview of the current use of non-motorized vehicles (NMVs) in Asian cities, environmental and economic aspects of NMVs, the characteristics of NMVs and facilities that serve them, and policies that influence their use. The paper identifies conditions under which NMVs should be encouraged for urban transport, obstacles to the development of NMVs, and makes recommendations for action by the World Bank and other donors.
