Abstract

[This chapter delineates the way forward. In the case study cities, it is universally accepted that there is a transport crisis. Knowledge about what sustainable transport interventions could be adopted locally also abounds. Implementation—rather than the transfer of ideas—is the problem. The chapter looks at the public policy and administration literature for suggestions on how to bring about implementation. Existing models suggest that, up to now, implementation of sustainable urban transport projects in Southeast Asia has been mostly ‘symbolic’ or ‘experimental’. The goal for the future would be to move Jakarta, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok to ‘administrative’ and ‘political’ forms of implementation which carry less ambiguity of goals and means.]
