摘要

Urban sustainability is the key to achieving sustainable development goals promoted by the United Nations. The present chapter describes the administrative structure and the administrative preparedness for localizing sustainable development in small cities. City administration prioritizes short-term solutions which often conflict with long-term goals. Congestion faced by car traffic seems to overshadow any other mobility-related problems. There is a lack of common vision of sustainable mobility targets which is acceptable by all stakeholders. The current institutional structure requires a major overhaul to address the requirements of sustainable mobility in cities. Localizing mobility SDGs requires long-term sustained efforts and political discourse at all levels to create a common vision for urban sustainability.
