Planning Ahead
Partnering with the Department for Natural Resources, Environment, and Housing in Hanoi, Vietnam’s second largest city, EMBARQ developed a suite of sustainable transport indicators, allowing city officials to diagnose transport problems (like skyrocketing numbers of motorbikes) and develop solutions to alleviate these problems. Building off the indicators project, EMBARQ later developed scenarios for future air pollution and traffic in the city, showing how air quality and traffic flow would dramatically deteriorate as people in Hanoi trade in their bicycles for motorcycles and later cars.
