...the sustainable city

Cebu chosen as World Bank program pilot city


CEBU CITY -- To complement the proposed Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system in Cebu City, the World Bank will help the City Government implement programs on energy efficiency in six sectors, including transportation and public lighting.

Cebu City is one of three cities in East Asia that were chosen to serve as pilot areas for the Sustainable Urban Energy Development (SUED) program of the World Bank.



The two other pilot areas are Danang in Vietnam and Surabaya in Indonesia.

Through a grant from the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAid), SUED aims to provide a sustainable program for energy efficiency and savings.
