Abstract Energy use in the global transport sector is poised to double by 2050 despite ongoing improvements in vehicle technology and fuel economy, and urban transport accounts for 40 percent of total transport-related energy consumption. The demand for mobility is growing particularly rapidly in cities in the developing world. Under a business-as-usual scenario, the total number of urban passenger-kilometers traveled could triple in the period 2010–50. Cities must find ways to meet these mobility challenges while also reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions from transport.
