SMMR II - Sustainable mobility in medium-sized metropolitan regions
The follow-up project aligned transport planning in ASEAN metropolitan regions with the Avoid–Shift–Improve approach, ensuring demand-oriented and sustainable mobility. Building on the achievements of SMMR I, it strengthened governance, enhanced capacities, and promoted integrated spatial and transport planning in selected metropolitan regions and ASEAN working groups. The project operated across four fields of action:
- Supporting regional governance structures,
- developing integrated transport concepts,
- fostering regional knowledge exchange, and
- implementing ASEAN-level initiatives, such as guidelines for better integration of transport and spatial planning.
By building on the progress of SMMR I, the project reinforced established planning mechanisms that have improved connectivity, promoted sustainable development, and strengthened civic participation in decision-making processes.
