Target Users

The target users of the City Solutions Toolkit are administrators and technical staff of local governments working to address urban air pollution. As each Guidance Area focuses on specific topics, each particular module would be most helpful to the following audience with the given background:

Air Quality Monitoring and Ambient Air Quality Standards, Emissions Inventories, Modeling

Air quality managers and technical officers from the local government, researchers, and other AQM practitioners performing air quality monitoring and data handling, as well as emissions inventories and air quality modeling. Within the clean air action planning process, these data will be used in baselining, setting air quality goals and emission reduction targets, and in evaluating impact of control measures implemented.

Clean Air Action Planning, Co-benefits

Air quality managers, administrators and technical officers from all local government agencies who are directly and indirectly involved in AQM (i.e. Planning, Transport, Health, Environment, etc.), policymakers and other AQM stakeholders (universities and research institutions, non-government organizations, private sector, community groups or associations) focused on the development of policies, projects and implementation plans related on reducing emissions, mitigation negative impacts of air pollution and improving overall AQM.
