The “Lessons from Peer Reviews” pull together knowledge on good practices in development co-operation from the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), drawing in particular on the findings of DAC’s peer reviews. These lessons can help DAC members and other relevant actors to understand and implement measures that are critical to managing and delivering development co-operation more effectively. This booklet highlights some of the common themes and important lessons on mainstreaming gender equality and the environment based on DAC members’ practices as documented in peer reviews, a number of donor evaluations as well as wider work across the OECD. It includes examples of DAC members’ practices and experiences, and sketches out the challenges donors still face as they move towards better support for mainstreaming these themes.

This review undertaken by TfL Planning attempts to bring together analysis of a range of different travel trends that have been observed in London in recent years, and to understand what has caused them and how they interrelate. Given that there are so many factors that can influence travel demand, the review does not claim to prove all of the reasons why the trends that have developed over the past two decades have been observed. Rather, it aims to offer a plausible explanation for the trends in travel demand based on a description of some of the major factors that have had an influence. A series of supplementary reports will be published to explore particular aspects of the topics covered in more detail than can be covered here.

This report from the Centre for Cities finds that in order to support agglomeration in our largest cities, the Department for Transport should look to improve transport links within the largest cities outside London to reduce the costs of commuting into their city centres. Public transport is much less well developed in all of these cities, and given the shifting geography of jobs, this should be seen as a priority by both local and national government.
