The Sustainable Cities Integrated Approach Pilot was a worldwide program established by the multinational Global Environment Facility in its sixth funding round (GEF-6). As implemented in China, it was aimed at helping Chinese cities use the principles of transit-oriented development (TOD) to achieve sustainable land use policies and transit plans at the levels of city, transit corridor, and transit station. The five-year China project (GEF- 6 China TOD) ran from December 2017 to March 2023. It was managed by the World Bank and implemented by China’s Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MoHURD) and seven representative large cities: Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Ningbo, Nanchang, Guiyang, and Shenzhen.

 

The GEF6 Technical Summary Series are prepared by the World Bank Task Team in collaboration with Beijing Jiaotong University. The series includes one Executive Summary, eight Summary Reports based on MoHURD’s National Platform for TOD Information Management and technical outputs from the seven project cities. Another one report named Special Topics in TOD, covers the urban regeneration, public participation, and financing aspects of the Project. The prefaces to each of the city reports list the principal city departments and consulting technical organizations that participated in the work. Click on the links to download the documents.
