Description

Product Description The volume is based on papers presented at a workshop on the green transport agenda and its implications for Chinese cities, organised by the World Conference on Transport Research Society in September 2010. The five sections of this volume review the challenges facing urban transport internationally and in China. It considers approaches to policy formulation, the challenge of urban mobility and the development of green sustainable transportation, by reviewing best practice in objective setting, strategy analysis and policy selection, and comparing these with current practice in China. The authors examine passenger transport, and considers a number of current policy interventions in China and compare these with western experience with demand management and new vehicle technologies. Topics include 5D land-use transport model for a high density, rapidly growing city and Contextual requirements for electric vehicles in developed and developing countries. Finally freight and logistics is addressed, including the role of freight villages and milk run strategies, and challenges and policy recommendations for road freight in Shanghai. Review Overall, this book is a valuable addition to the sustainable urban transport literature in two ways. First, for readers who want to learn more about China, this book provides a comprehensive update on what has been implemented and is currently being implemented in this country, as several authors are actually policy executers in city governments. Second, this book is an excellent collection of practices and lessons from some major non-English speaking countries, such as Japan, Germany, and France. Therefore, the book reflects the geography of the diffusion and implementation of sustainable transport concepts. - James Wang, Department of Geography, University of Hong Kong.
