Fostering Inclusive Growth with Green Roads

30 May 2024
This webinar focused on the ninth dimension of green roads: Inclusive Growth. Road construction and maintenance represent significant public expenditures and offer opportunities for inclusive growth. These projects can stimulate emerging economies, enhance local economic circulation, and ensure equitable participation of vulnerable groups in labor and business opportunities. Comprehensive rural road networks and transport systems are vital for accessing health services, markets, education, and social networks. Innovations like motorbike paths and trail bridges play a significant role in connecting remote populations. Additionally, roads serve as economic spaces, with roadside areas vital for economic activities, especially in cities where the informal sector thrives. Encouraging and regulating these activities can further economic growth. This webinar also discussed how road development can be a catalyst for inclusive growth, with discussions on innovative strategies and best practices that enhance the socioeconomic impacts of road projects, ensuring that the benefits of improved infrastructure reach all community members, especially the most vulnerable.
