For urban transport in China, GHG emissions primarily consist of carbon dioxide (CO2), so these terms are used interchangeably. Energy use and CO2 emissions are also highly correlated based on the predominance of fossil fuels in transport. A database of self-reported indicators was developed and verified for the fourteen participating cities of the China World Bank-Global Environment Facility (GEF) Urban Transport Partnership Program. Other supplemental sources were also used to enrich the dataset for urban transport and energy analysis, namely the most recent China City Statistical Yearbooks. Beijing and Shanghai were also included where data was available from existing studies given their relevance in broad comparison of Chinese cities. Section two discusses the general demographic and economic trends in the sample of cities that may be influencing the sector. Section three points to stylized facts about the most relevant urban transport demand, supply and performance characteristics in recent years and suggests how they may be driving energy consumption and GHG emissions. Section four is the analysis and forecast of energy use and GHG emissions using the urban transport drivers identified. Finally, general conclusions and next steps are suggested in section five, as well as additional details on the data, methodology, definitions, and a map of China with the seventeen selected cities in the annexes.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESSIBILITYAIRAIR POLLUTIONALTERNATIVE FUELALTERNATIVE FUELSAUTOMOBILEAUTOMOBILE DEPENDENCEAVERAGE FUEL EFFICIENCYAVERAGE TRAVEL TIMEAVERAGE TRIP DISTANCEAVERAGE VEHICLE OCCUPANCYAVERAGE VEHICLE OWNERSHIPBICYCLE LANEBICYCLE USEBICYCLESBICYCLISTSBUSBUS FLEETBUS FLEETSBUS STOPBUS SYSTEMCARCAR OWNERSCAR OWNERSHIPCAR TRIPSCAR USECARBON CONTENTCARBON DIOXIDECARSCENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICTCLIMATE CHANGECOMPANY CARSCONGESTIONCONGESTION CHARGEDEMAND FOR TRAVELDISPOSABLE INCOMEDRIVERSDRIVINGEFFICIENT TRANSPORTELASTICITIESELASTICITYELASTICITY OF VEHICLE OWNERSHIPELECTRIC BICYCLESEMISSION STANDARDSEMISSIONSENERGY CONSUMPTIONEXCLUSIVE BUS LANESFARE SUBSIDIESFATALITIESFLEETSFOSSIL FUELSFUELFUEL CONSUMPTIONFUEL ECONOMYFUEL EFFICIENCY STANDARDSFUEL PRICESFUEL STANDARDSFUEL-EFFICIENCYGASOLINEGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGOOD TRANSPORTGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GASESHIGH TRANSPORTHOUSEHOLD TRAVELHOUSEHOLD TRAVEL SURVEYSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINNER RINGINNER RING ROADINSPECTIONINTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMSINTERCITY TRAVELINVESTMENT IN ROADSLAND USELAND USE PATTERNSLENGTH OF ROADLEVEL OF TRAVEL DEMANDLIGHT RAILLONGER TRIP DISTANCESMASS TRANSITMINIBUSESMOBILITYMOBILITY MANAGEMENTMODE OF TRANSPORTMOTOR VEHICLEMOTORCYCLEMOTORCYCLESMUNICIPAL DENSITYNARROW STREETSODOMETERPASSENGERSPASSENGERS PER VEHICLEPEAK PERIODSPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTUREPEDESTRIANSPERSON-TRIPSPERSONAL VEHICLESPOPULATION DENSITIESPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE MOTOR VEHICLESPRIVATE VEHICLEPRIVATE VEHICLE OWNERSHIPPRIVATE VEHICLESPUBLIC TRANSITPUBLIC TRANSIT NETWORKPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC TRANSPORT INVESTMENTSPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODEPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODESPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATIONSPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICEPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SHAREPUBLIC TRANSPORT SUPPLYPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMSRAPID TRANSITRING ROADRING ROADSROADROAD CAPACITYROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD NETWORKROAD PROVISIONROAD SPACEROAD TRANSPORTROAD USEROADSROADWAYROUTEROUTESSHORT TRIPSSUBWAYSUBWAY SYSTEMSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTTAXTAXI PASSENGERTAXISTOLLSTRAFFICTRAFFIC ACCIDENTTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC IN CITIESTRAILSTRAINSTRANSPORT ANALYSISTRANSPORT DATATRANSPORT DEMANDTRANSPORT ENERGY USETRANSPORT FARESTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT INVESTMENTTRANSPORT NETWORKTRANSPORT OFFICIALSTRANSPORT PERFORMANCE INDICATORSTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT STRATEGIESTRANSPORT SYSTEMSTRANSPORTATIONTRAVEL BEHAVIORTRAVEL BEHAVIORSTRAVEL DEMANDTRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENTTRAVEL DISTANCETRAVEL DISTANCESTRAVEL LANESTRAVELERSTRIPTRIP BASISTRIP GENERATIONTRIP LENGTHSTRIP MAKINGTRIP PURPOSETRIP PURPOSESTRIP RATETRIP RATESTRIPS BY MODETRIPS PER CAPITATRIPS PER DAYTROLLEY BUSTROLLEYBUSESTRUCK TRAFFICTRUCKSTUNNELURBAN BUSESURBAN CENTERURBAN PASSENGERURBAN PASSENGER TRANSPORTURBAN RAILURBAN RAIL SYSTEMSURBAN ROADURBAN SPRAWLURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT ENERGY USEURBAN TRANSPORT PLANNINGURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMURBANIZATIONVEHICLEVEHICLE EFFICIENCYVEHICLE EMISSIONVEHICLE EMISSION STANDARDSVEHICLE EMISSIONSVEHICLE FLEETVEHICLE FLEETSVEHICLE FUELVEHICLE FUEL EFFICIENCYVEHICLE INSPECTIONVEHICLE KILOMETERSVEHICLE OCCUPANCYVEHICLE OWNERSHIPVEHICLE REGISTRATIONVEHICLE RESTRICTIONVEHICLE RESTRICTIONSVEHICLE SIZEVEHICLE TRIPSVEHICLE TYPESVEHICLE USEVEHICLE-KILOMETERSVEHICLESWALKINGWALKING DISTANCEWEALTH10.1596/18863
