Integrated Sustainable Urban Transport Systems for Smart Cities (SMART-SUT)

Capacity Development Strategy

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Ministry of
Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) jointly implemented the “Integrated Sustainable Urban
Transport Systems for Smart Cities (SMART-SUT)” project to facilitate the planning and
implementation of sustainable urban transport measures by developing capacities at national,
state and city levels, and by jointly implementing projects on-ground in selected Indian cities on
their way to becoming a Smart City.

SMART-SUT supports key institutions that have a transport-planning mandate, including the
Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) created under India’s Smart Cities Mission (SCM), municipal
corporations and providers of the urban mobility system and combines transport-oriented and
methodological advisory services and training of the political partners (macro-level), and the
implementing organisations (meso-level) with selected demonstration measures (micro level)
for sustainable urban transport.

The objectives of the CDS are to chart a course for the project to improve the ability of the key
actors mentioned above to plan and implement urban transport projects.
