RG-T3266 : Technology Innovations in Urban Planning and Transit

The purpose of this Technical Cooperation (TC) is to enable the use of digital platforms in the design and implementation of urban development and mobility projects in Latin American and Caribbean cities. Specifically, this TC seeks to support the following activities: (i) carry out dynamic modeling of the impact of new mass transit systems on central districts in LAC cities, in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab, starting with a first pilot in Quito, Ecuador; (ii) implement new digital tools to measure the efficiency of public transit systems; and (iii) increase inclusion and local knowledge through the development and transfer of open mapping tools for urban transit.
