ITDP has eight offices on five continents and has worked in over 120 cities across more than 30 countries. Learn more about ITDP’s vision for the future in our 2030 Strategic Plan.
Building on decades of experience, we have expertise on several key issues in transport and urban development, including:
Climate Change and Air Quality
The transport sector is one of the largest and fastest-growing sources of CO2 emissions, and it is also the largest source of black carbon, which is particularly damaging to respiratory health. Tackling climate change requires a fundamental reevaluation of our priorities for public spaces and the movement of people in cities.
Transport Technology and Digitalization
Technologies offer exciting new options for shaping the way we navigate cities, but how we utilize these tools can be either beneficial or detrimental to our cities. With the right focus on expanding transportation and reducing car ownership, we can improve access to our towns for billions of people.
Traffic Demand Management
Fair pricing and related strategies for road use based on demand and access is a crucial tool for achieving transport equity in our cities. Vehicle tolls, congestion pricing, parking reform, and low- and zero-emission zones are all ways in which cities can reduce traffic congestion and raise much-needed funds for improving public transport.
Sustainable Urban Development and Road Safety
ITDP places a greater emphasis on urban design for people and non-motorized transport. ITDP can speak to proper bike lane design, the needs of pedestrians, and the importance of assuring safe and equitable transport for all.
Gender, Equity, and Accessibility
ITDP works in cities around the world to increase access to urban spaces and transport for vulnerable populations, including women, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and the urban poor.
Bikeshare and Two- and Three-Wheelers
Using data from systems around the world, ITDP has evaluated what makes a successful system and can speak to bikeshare planning and design, as well as business and financial models, and global trends.
International and Regional Transport Policy
ITDP is an active participant in international discussions on climate and transport policy (e.g. COP, UNGA, ITF) and can speak to trends in the field and the importance of incorporating sustainable transport into the global conversation.
