Western Balkans Urban Mobility Initiative - Summary Report
The six Western Balkans (WeBa) countries, composed of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia, have undergone major economic transformations over the past 15 years, although structural reforms began to stall in the mid-2000s. The Urban Mobility Initiative for the Western Balkans region was launched by the World Bank Group to conduct a high-level, comprehensive diagnostic assessment of urban mobility in the 10 selected cities in the WeBa region. The overarching aim of the assessment is to identify interventions for urban mobility-related challenges and potential opportunities where the World Bank Group may provide support. This comprehensive summary report presents the highlights of individual urban mobility assessments prepared for each of the 10 selected WeBa cities, provides a comprehensive review of urban transport provision and gaps, and identifies priority investment areas and key strategies to enable the urban transport transformation in cities across the region. The assessment in this report is organized in the following themes: institutional arrangement, financing, characterization of modes, infrastructure and services, and priority investment areas. These themes were discussed and confirmed with the cities at the concluding workshops. Drawing from the diagnostic assessment and discussions with the cities, the report then identifies key policies that the countries and cities can explore to accelerate the transformation of urban mobility in the short term.

Summary: | The six Western Balkans (WeBa)
countries, composed of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia, have
undergone major economic transformations over the past 15
years, although structural reforms began to stall in the
mid-2000s. The Urban Mobility Initiative for the Western
Balkans region was launched by the World Bank Group to
conduct a high-level, comprehensive diagnostic assessment of
urban mobility in the 10 selected cities in the WeBa region.
The overarching aim of the assessment is to identify
interventions for urban mobility-related challenges and
potential opportunities where the World Bank Group may
provide support. This comprehensive summary report presents
the highlights of individual urban mobility assessments
prepared for each of the 10 selected WeBa cities, provides a
comprehensive review of urban transport provision and gaps,
and identifies priority investment areas and key strategies
to enable the urban transport transformation in cities
across the region. The assessment in this report is
organized in the following themes: institutional
arrangement, financing, characterization of modes,
infrastructure and services, and priority investment areas.
These themes were discussed and confirmed with the cities at
the concluding workshops. Drawing from the diagnostic
assessment and discussions with the cities, the report then
identifies key policies that the countries and cities can
explore to accelerate the transformation of urban mobility
in the short term. |
