CRC Press - Sustainable Approaches to Urban Transport Book

As urban congestion increases, current transport patterns face rising energy use and high economic and environmental costs. This book addresses these challenges by examining how cities can move away from unsustainable models that exacerbate inequity between different levels of travel access. Sustainable Approaches to Urban Transport explores the intersection of urban planning and engineering. It looks at the development of human-scale cities through the promotion of bicycles and the creation of pedestrian-exclusive zones. The text also covers the importance of changing fiscal policies to encourage public transport over private vehicles. By combining insights on engineering design for road management with strategic planning, this resource provides a comprehensive look at creating more efficient urban environments. It is an essential read for those studying how to build cities that prioritize accessibility and long-term sustainability.
