up of BRT, in 2011 <strong>ITDP</strong> laid the foundation <strong>for</strong> a<br />
robust urban development program that aims to<br />
marry our extensive portfolio of transport work with<br />
urban design <strong>and</strong> development that leverages the CO 2<br />
emissions savings of these transport systems. With<br />
over 250 million Indians <strong>and</strong> 300 million Chinese moving<br />
into cities over the next two decades, we brought<br />
our urban development program, Our Cities Ourselves<br />
(OCO), to Ahmedabad <strong>and</strong> Guangzhou to promote<br />
not only BRT, but also our new ‘OCO Principles <strong>for</strong><br />
Transport in Urban Life’ (developed jointly with Gehl<br />
Architects <strong>and</strong> CSEP). <strong>ITDP</strong> is now working with city<br />
leaders <strong>and</strong> developers to push <strong>for</strong> new, transit oriented<br />
urban designs <strong>and</strong> regulatory changes – particularly<br />
in parking re<strong>for</strong>m – that can significantly reduce<br />
car dependency <strong>and</strong> yield massive CO 2<br />
reductions.<br />
