Advanced Introduction to Urban Transport Planning by Kevin J. Krizek,David A. King Pdf

Insightful and original in its approach, this Advanced Introduction to Urban Transport Planning provides a fresh look at cost-efficiency and casts the craft of transport planning in new light, allowing engineers and urban planners to understand the benefits of breaking mobility-centric systems that favour cars and prioritising multi-modal transport systems that promote access. It features in-depth analysis of traditional methods and how these are changing due to new technologies, financial constraints and evolving environmental trends.

A Developmental Approach to Urban Transport Planning by Harry T. Dimitriou Pdf

Originally published in 1995, this monograph examines a developmental approach to urban transport planning, with reference to Indonesia. It provides a profile of the country, outlining Indonesia’s geography and population, historical and political background, economic profile and constraints on development. Recent trends in Indonesian development are outlined. Indonesian urban transport demand and supply are analysed, and policy and planning frameworks for urban transport set out, including national policy and financial and institutional issues. Factors affecting urban transport are considered such as settlement characteristics and matching of transport systems with settlement hierarchy. The applicability of a developmental approach to urban transport planning for Indonesia is analysed with reference to experience in industrialized nations and the Third World.

Transport Planning and Mobility in Urban East Africa by Nadine Appelhans,Wolfgang Scholz,Sabine Baumgart Pdf

This book critically explores the relationship between mobility patterns, transport provision and urban development in East African cities. Bringing together contributions on the futures of mobility in urban East Africa, the chapters examine transport provision, mobility patterns, location-specific modes of transport and transformative factors for transport and mobility in the rapidly urbanising region. The book outlines different mobility needs to be addressed in transport planning to serve and shape the respective cities and examines the decision-making process in transport planning and the level of accountability to the public. The contributors show the dialectic between innovation in transport/mobility and urban development under rapid urbanisation and discusses how to practically integrate mobility and transport provision into urban development. This book will be of interest to scholars in urban planning, transport planning, transport geography, social sciences and African studies.

Urban Transportation by D. Johnson Victor,S. Ponnuswamy Pdf

Urban Transportation has become a subject of major interest for students, academia and practicing engineers in the government and private sector. So far, there is hardly any book available on the subject written by Indian authors covering the subject in the context of a developing country. In order to meet the demand, the authors have come together to pool their knowledge gained as a teacher and a practicing engineer respectively and write this book. This book has been prepared to fit in with the syllabus on Urban Transport and Public Transport taught at graduate level in various universities and Indian Institutes of Technology as well as Schools of Planning. At the same time, the book can be used as a reference book by practicing engineers and consultants. It covers the subject of planning for transportation in an urban area including basic principles and current practices. Special emphasis has been given to conditions in India and developing countries.

Urban Transport Planning by John Black Pdf

Originally published in 1981, Urban Transport Planning explains how the systems approach has been applied in the planning of multi-modal transport planning and to demonstrate how a city may be represented by land use zones superimposed with a transport network. It discusses theoretical developments and demonstrates their application to practical problems of planning by using actual case studies. By treating the urban area as a system, and recognising the fundamental interactions between land use, traffic and transport, the study shows how it is possible to predict the future demands for travel, how transport requirements are determined and how alternative plans are formulated and evaluated.

Transport in Human Scale Cities by Mladenović, Miloš N.,Toivonen, Tuuli,Willberg, Elias,Geurs, Karst T. Pdf

This timely book calls for a paradigm shift in urban transport, which remains one of the critically uncertain aspects of the sustainability transformation of our societies. It argues that the potential of human scale thinking needs to be recognised, both in understanding people on the move in the city and within various organisations responsible for cities.

Non-Motorized Transport Integration into Urban Transport Planning in Africa by Winnie V. Mitullah,Marianne Vanderschuren,Meleckidzedeck Khayesi Pdf

What challenges do pedestrians and cyclists face in cities of the developing world? What opportunities do these cities have to provide for walking and cycling? Based on in-depth research conducted in Cape Town (South Africa), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Nairobi (Kenya), this book explores these questions by presenting work on walking and cycling travel behaviour, the status of road safety in these cities, as well as an analysis of the infrastructure for walking and cycling, and the workings of the institutions responsible for planning for these modes. The book also presents case studies relating to particular opportunities and challenges, such as the development and evaluation of ‘walking bus’ interventions, and the opportunities micro-simulation of pedestrian interventions offers within a data-scarce environment. Non-motorized Transport Integration into Urban Transport Planning in Africa demonstrates that transport and urban planning remains situated in a logic of automobile-dependent transport planning and global city development. This logic of practice does not pay adequate attention to walking and cycling. It argues that a significant shift in both policy as well as political commitment is needed so as to prioritize walking and cycling as strategies for sustainable transport policy in urban Africa. This book will be a key text for practitioners and policy makers working in planning, transport policy and urban development in Africa, as well as students and scholars of African studies, development studies, urban geography, transport studies and sustainable development.
