New business models to support funding for greener cities

Across Europe there is an increasing focus on greener cities. By 2025, Copenhagen aims to be the first capital city in the world to become carbon neutral. Copenhageners will make 75% of trips by bicycle, on foot or by public transport. In the UK, central and local government are raising green transport higher on the agenda, looking for long term cost savings as well as improving emissions. Green transport can be viewed as a risky investment with uncertainty of demand and upfront infrastructure costs.

By working closely with potential stakeholders, innovative business models can be created to share the risk and to stimulate investment. We are currently working on a number of projects with the public and private sector exploring green transport business models and potential sources of funding and financing to support strategic investment.
