Changing course in urban transport : an illustrated guide
Cities in Asia are growing rapidly. The traffic growth associated with this and increased aspirations toward motorization have meant
worsening travel and environmental conditions for large numbers of people. The general quality of urban life is declining in many cities.
Attempts to build our way out of the problem by providing more roads and parking space will simply lead to problems on a larger scale—
more congestion, carbon emissions, pollution, social inequity, and economic decline.
There is another route—a change in course—where traffic is managed, mass transit systems developed, non-motorized modes
encouraged, urban planning designed to support transport investment (and vice versa), slower travel speeds adopted, and low-emission
vehicles used as the major share of the vehicle market. The benefits of such an integrated approach will be very large. Cities can regain
their competitive edge, minimize their environmental impacts, become more attractive places to live and work, and develop strong senses
of character and identity.
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words—and this illustrated guide provides a rich collection of images of sustainable urban
transport schemes and initiatives from around the world. It shows how we can upgrade the quality of urban transport to support wider
sustainability goals. We hope that the initiatives and ideas that follow can be widely disseminated across Asia, and that we can all learn
from the practical experience that results
