Despite the growing awareness of the need of sustainability in transport planning, efforts to work on this topic have focused on the environmental and economic aspects, but there have been few projects and initiatives investigating and working upon social aspects of transport, the third of the main pillars of sustainability.

GTZ SUTP has published its Technical Document # 2 titled "Social Change and urban transport" which describes how transport in its social dimension has many intricacies that should be taken into account when analysing existing policies and developing new ones. It provides a description of the main issues to be tackled, the main stakeholders in the local and International/ Multilateral level and it provides some indication as to how to implement social change in transport and gives a brief overview of social impact assessment as an aid in such a process.
