The next wave of unprecedented urbanisation is expected to occur in South Asia and Africa, with India being the most populous country. India's urbanisation choices will influence the success of the three global agendas: New Urban Agenda, Sustainable Development Goals, and the Paris Agreement. Sustainable urban transport is vital in delivering United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG11) on inclusive and sustainable urbanisation. SDG11 includes dimensions such as equity, gender equality, health, employment, and climate change. Through a mixed-methods approach, the paper develops an assessment framework to investigate: 'What are the roles of existing urban transport interventions in delivering SDG11?' in two Indian cities: Surat (an industrial city of 5.9 million) and Udaipur (a tourist city of 0.8 million) across three interrelated transport roles: providing Inclusive Access, delivering Climate-Resilient Development, and delivering Context-Sensitive Planning. Each urban transport interaction is assigned synergy (+1), trade-off (-1) or mixed impacts (-/+1). The paper finds that current transport interventions in Surat & Udaipur largely result in trade-offs across all three themes Inclusive Access (-1 for Surat & Udaipur), Climate Vulnerability (-1 for Surat & Udaipur), and Context-Sensitive Planning (-1 for Surat & +1 for Udaipur).
预计下一波史无前例的城市化浪潮将出现在南亚和非洲，印度是人口最多的国家。印度的城市化选择将影响三项全球议程的成功：《新城市议程》、《可持续发展目标》和《巴黎协定》。可持续城市交通对于实现联合国关于包容性和可持续城市化的可持续发展目标11（SDG11）至关重要。SDG11包括公平、性别平等、健康、就业和气候变化等方面。通过混合方法，本文制定了一个评估框架，以调查：“现有城市交通干预措施在实现SDG11方面发挥了什么作用？”在印度的两个城市：苏拉特（一个拥有590万人口的工业城市）和乌代布尔（一个拥有80万人口的旅游城市），涉及三个相互关联的交通角色：提供包容性接入、实现气候适应型发展以及实施因地制宜的规划。每种城市交通互动都被赋予协同效应（+1）、权衡（-1）或混合影响（-/+1）。本文发现，苏拉特和乌代布尔目前的交通干预措施在所有三个主题上大多导致权衡：包容性接入（苏拉特和乌代布尔均为-1）、气候脆弱性（苏拉特和乌代布尔均为-1）以及因地制宜的规划（苏拉特为-1，乌代布尔为+1）。
