Likewise, public transport is undergoing a continual loss of mode-share across developing-nation cities. The following are among the contributing causes of this trend: • Inconvenience in terms of location of stations and frequency of service • Failure to service key origins and destinations

Implicit in the notion of Green Cities for developing nations is the idea that development and motorization can be decoupled. Sustainable transport options offer an alternative path for Green Cities. A complementary package of public transport, quality footpaths and cycleways, vehicle-restriction measures, clean fuels, safety programs, and high standards can constitute a new paradigm for urban mobility and access.

Instilling smart growth design principles into city expansion, maintaining public transport, and retaining nonmotorized users through service quality are proactive measures that are perishable in some ways if the opportunity is missed. Since major investments in road-based infrastructure are relatively irreversible over the medium term, decisions made by developing-nation officials today will likely determine the shape and direction of the future urban form.

Developing-nation cities, though, are in a unique position to shape their form before a culture of motorization becomes fully established. Convincing individuals to leave their cars and motorcycles for alternatives is far more difficult and costly than retaining current users of sustainable transport options through improvements in quality.

Transport is the only major sector in which base conditions tend to worsen as economic performance increases. As incomes rise, so do levels of car and motorcycle ownership, which leads to heightened levels of congestion and other problems associated with motorization. In the cities of the developing world, increased private motorization tends to decrease exchange and accessibility.

While sanitation, health, education, and employment tend to improve through economic development, transport problems tend to worsen

Cities are an invention to maximize exchange opportunities and to minimize travel. These exchanges may be exchanges of goods, friendship, knowledge, culture, work, education or emotional and spiritual support. Cities are a deliberate concentration of these exchange opportunities in order to increase both the diversity and accessibility of exchange opportunities. The role of transport is to help maximize exchange.
