Ahmedabad wins Sustainable Transport Award

Ahmedabad, Gujarat's largest city, has won the prestigious Sustainable Transport Award 2010.

The city, with a present day population of about 5.2 million, was founded in 1411 by Sultan Ahmed Shah to serve as the capital of the Gujarat Sultanate.

The award was handed over to the Ahmedabad city officials in the presence of Indian Urban Development Secretary M. Ramachandran at a function on the sidelines of the 89th annual meeting of the Transportation Research Bureau held here Tuesday.

The annual award is given to a city that has a profound impact on lessening the impact of climate change and enhances the sustainability and liveability of its community or region through innovative transportation strategies that increase mobility for all, while reducing transportation greenhouse and air pollution emissions, and improving safety and access for bicyclists and pedestrians.

The past winners of the award include New York (2009), Paris (2008), London (2008), Guayquil, Ecuador (2007); Seoul (2006) and Bogota (2005).
