Sustainability; Transport planning & policy

As cities become increasingly congested, current transport patterns are unsustainable: heavy in energy use, high in economic and environmental cost, and exacerbating inequity between those who can access high-speed travel and those who cannot. Good urban planning develops human-scale cities and encourages modes such as bicycles, increased zones exclusive to pedestrians within cities, and changed fiscal policies to incentivize public over private transport. Equally, it requires good engineering design to manage road use.

Sustainable Approaches to Urban Transport brings together contributions from leading international experts in urban planning, transport, and governance who suggest changes to make our cities more sustainable in the face of climate change. All professionals working in transport and engineering and planning students will find an overview of a broad field in this interdisciplinary collection of essays.

Reviews for Sustainable Approaches to Urban Transport

'The contributors to this volume bring to us the depth and diversity of the challenge we face in the way cities are conceived, adapted, designed, developed, and managed in a world confronted with increasing road accident fatalities, and disease and death due to climate change and atmospheric pollution. These contributions should help policy makers and researchers to better equip them for the road ahead.' - Planning in London
