Sustainable Urban Transport Masterplan Windhoek (SUTMP Windhoek)

Duration: 2012 - 2013Customer: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)

Project Parner: Aurecon

The City of Windhoek (CoW) is rapidly growing and aims tofurther improve its transport system by establishing an in-tegrated system, where the modes are intelligently com-bined to form a sustainable transport system that satisfiesthe needs of all citizens and ensures sustainability in thelong run.

As a first step towards a more sustainable transport sys-tem, a Master Plan is to be established. For the CoW, thisapproach for the first time aims at developing a Master Plan

going beyond road transport by including public transport,non-motorized modes and even by developing proposals forfuture integrated land use planning schemes.

Consequently, the overall objective of the project is as fol-lows:

A structured sustainable urban transport master plan isgenerated, which allows decision makers to develop an af-fordable, accessible, attractive and efficient public transportand non-motorized transport system for the next 20 years,including strategies and actions needed to implement theplan, benchmarked with urban transport systems in theworld and set a new trend in itself.

The indicator defined measuring the achievement of thisoverall objective is that the Master Plan is available in May2013 on broad consensus by the relevant stakeholders andcoordinated and approved by the counterparts in the Minis-try of Works and Transport (MWT) and CoW.

PhD Thesis: Appropriate Transport and Rural Development


In Makete District (Tanzania) an integrated rural transportproject tested labour based construction of rural roads andfootpaths, as well as the introduction of non-motorisedmeans of transport, such as donkeys, bicycles and wheel-barrows. The PhD thesis researched the economic and so-cial impacts taking into account agricultural production,marketing, time usage, vehicle operating costs andtransport volumes. Cost-benefits ratios showed thatmeasures in the non-motorised sector had at least thesame efficiency as motorised intervention. The thesis wasaccomplished with a system dynamics simulation of theregion.
