Sustainable Non Motorised Transport- case studies from around the world
Several cities around the world have implemented policies and initiatives to reduce car traffic and encourage alternative forms of transportation like biking and walking:
- London introduced a congestion charge for driving in central London while increasing bus services to reduce car trips.
- American cities are adding bike lanes to roads to reduce car trips and increase biking as a safe transportation option.
- Bhaktapur, Nepal was designated a UNESCO heritage site for its traditional architecture and car-free streets.
- Cartagena, Colombia launched a plan to convert its historical center to a car-free zone to preserve the area.
The Demand for Pedestrian Walkways in Kuala Lumpur and the UK
Pedestrian walkways are becoming increasingly popular as a way to encourage walking and reduce traffic congestion in cities. Research has shown that walkways integrated with greenery can improve urban landscapes by allowing leisurely strolls and picnics. While Bristol, England had plans in the 1960s for an extensive network of overhead walkways that were not realized due to funding issues, Wirral in the UK recently received funding to upgrade an essential pedestrian route between towns to shorten commute times and boost safety and economic growth.
Are Indian Cities Moving Towards Sustainable Transportation?
Indian cities are moving towards more sustainable transportation systems by promoting public transit over private vehicles. As cities invest less in new car infrastructure and more in public transit like buses and trains, they are seeing reductions in traffic congestion and pollution. Sustainable transportation requires an integrated approach including improving existing transit systems, expanding bike and pedestrian infrastructure, implementing high-occupancy vehicle lanes, and promoting dense, mixed-use development near transit lines. The transition will take implementing multiple complementary policies tailored to each city's unique needs.

"Building a transport system for a sustainable society" Jesmond Library Talk ...Northumbria University
This document discusses the engineering challenges of building a sustainable transport system. It outlines that transport infrastructure, including roads, rail, and ports, places stress on society due to factors like population growth and consumption. The document advocates for more decentralized, community-based solutions and modal shift to reduce emissions. It argues for investing in infrastructure to increase non-motorized transport like walking, biking, and public transit to 80% of short journeys by 2020. Successful examples from other countries demonstrate that political will, funding, and integrated planning of land use and transport are needed to transition away from car dependency.Retrofitting Plan To Promote NMT For IUT Final_KK Joaddder
The document outlines a retrofitting plan for promoting non-motorized transport and pedestrianization in Jasola-Sarita Vihar, Delhi. It discusses the benefits of non-motorized transport, existing legal frameworks and policies supporting NMT, and presents data on trip patterns and road accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists in Delhi. The methodology section describes the audit of existing infrastructure and development of a retrofitting plan which will involve redesigning rights-of-way, components, and traffic management to improve conditions for walking and cycling.
Seattle presentation 2
The document discusses Seattle's efforts towards more sustainable transportation over several decades, including establishing a bus transit system in the 1960s, developing light rail and streetcar lines, and combating urban sprawl. It outlines Seattle's climate action plan and various programs to reduce carbon emissions and provide more transportation choices for citizens, such as the One Less Car Challenge. The selection process for transportation projects is also summarized in four steps.
An Evaluation of Automobile Use, Parking Provision, and Urban Activity
Early American cities were built around dense street networks and relied upon a wide variety of modes for transportation. For more than 50 years, however, many small cities have been physically restructured in efforts to provide automobile access comparable to that in the surrounding suburbs. In those cities, the level of automobile use, the physical form, and the level of activity are now very different from cities that, instead, made greater efforts to preserve their existing urban form. This study looks at 11 small cities that have exhibited very different trends in terms of automobile use and infrastructure provision since 1960 in order to gauge how these differences have impacted long-term urban vitality in those cities.
This study relies on socioeconomic and demographic data dating back to 1960, historical travel mode share data, maps depicting the amount of land used for transportation purposes, and policy review. This approach provides unique insight regarding the aggregate impacts of automobile use on urban land consumption and urban vitality as well as a historical perspective revealing how these cities evolved and key policies that enabled these changes.
In our study, we found that higher levels of automobile use correspond with lower concentrations of activities (residential and employment). This is due in large part to the amount of land needed for automobile infrastructure. The cities were divided into two groups: “low automobile use” and “automobile dependent.” On average, parking consumes more than twice as much urban land per activity in automobile dependent cities. These cities also have fewer than half as many productive activities per square mile. The study also reveals that incomes and automobile ownerships rates are higher in cities with low automobile use, suggesting that individuals will choose not to use their automobiles if there are diverse transportation choices and if non-automobile modes of transportation are attractive options. This lessens the amount of automobile infrastructure needed.
Evidence suggests that policy decisions within each city have greatly influenced the changes they experienced over time. Based on the trends revealed in this study, a productive, long-term policy approach should incorporate measures that support diverse transportation systems and efficient use of urban space.

Mega Events and the Transformation of Rio de Janeiro into a Mass-Transit City
Mega Events and the Transformation of Rio de Janeiro into a Mass-Transit CityWRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities
Rio de Janeiro has hosted several mega events like the Olympic Games which led the city to invest in mass transit infrastructure like BRT systems. Four BRT corridors were implemented called TransOeste, TransCarioca, TransOlímpica, and TransBrasil which increased public transport ridership from 18% to 63%. The BRT systems reduced travel times by up to 50% and CO2 emissions. Challenges remain to maintain high quality service and further encourage transit ridership through urban development near stations.José Ribau Esteves S4C Colloquium Aveiro 2016

It outlines goals such as improving road safety by reducing speeds, creating more livable cities through land use and transportation planning, and encouraging sustainable transportation modes. It then provides details on specific traffic calming measures and cites studies showing measures like speed humps, speed tables and traffic circles reduced collisions by 11-45% and lowered 85th percentile speeds by 7-23%. The document concludes by listing example car-free cities and references for further information.
Transport
Transportation is the movement of people, animals, and goods from one location to another. It enables trade and is essential for civilization's development. There are several modes of transportation including air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline, and space. Each mode has advantages and disadvantages, and the chosen mode depends on cost, capability, and route. Key modes discussed are human-powered, animal-powered, air, rail, road, and water transportation. In India, transportation remains an important part of the economy, with public transit being the primary means of travel for most. Traditional Indian means included palanquins, hand-pulled rickshaws, buses, and auto rickshaws.
Northern Transport Summit: Stephen Joseph, transport policy consultant
Northern Transport Summit May 2019
Three key points:
1) Research shows air pollution from vehicles like diesel exhausts and particulates from tires/brakes linked to health issues like low birth weights and diseases, exceeding EU/WHO standards. Successive legal challenges have forced the UK Government to take more action.
2) Transport has surpassed energy as the largest emitting sector in the UK, increasing pressure to tackle climate change and air quality which are now central to transport policy.
3) Cities are starting to respond with Clean Air Zones charging non-compliant vehicles, plans for electric/zero emission zones, and public transport improvements. But further action may be needed to meet long term carbon reduction targets.

This document presents information on creating more equitable streets that balance the movement of people and goods. It discusses pilot projects in Greater Manchester that aim to reallocate street space from cars to walking, cycling, and public transit. The projects use a co-design process involving local stakeholders to understand issues like high car dependency, congested streets, and unsafe environments for pedestrians. The goal is to rebalance streets to encourage modal shift, improve public health, and enhance local communities and places. Next steps include detailed street design, developing design principles and strategies, and taking lessons from the pilot projects.

Air Quality in Bogota
Dario Hidalgo discussed air quality in Bogota, Colombia. While steady progress has been made, air quality has not yet reached World Health Organization standards. Keys to Bogota's progress include implementing a better transportation system rather than just focusing on air quality, having a plan but also taking action, and continuously measuring and managing air quality. Some measures that have helped reduce pollution include expanding public transit options like BRT, increasing bike lanes, controlling vehicle traffic, renewing the bus fleet, using cleaner diesel, and reducing the sulfur content in diesel. Continued implementation of strategies like completing the new integrated bus system and introducing more stringent vehicle emissions standards will help Bogota further improve its air quality.

C4.07: Using models to help shape sustainable coasts - Beth Fulton
Australia sees itself as the coastal nation and the world is following suite, with more than three quarters to the global population projected to live within coastal zones by mid century. As the point where land and sea meet coasts represent a rich diversity of environment types, livelihoods, opportunities and conflicting objectives. Models a one means of navigating through the situation, bringing together information in a consistent framework and helping people visualise what alternative futures may contain. The diversity of modelling tools available has grown in sophistication over the last 30 years, growing to encompass consideration of ecosystem and human dimensions of the coastal zone. Drawing on examples from Australia and around the world this discussion will show that while there is plenty of scope for future development, modelling approaches have matured to a point that they provide a tailorable toolbox of approaches that can get beyond impact modelling to address the socioecological and operational challenges involved in finding pragmatic sustainable options for coastal zone development and management.

The comprehensive plan aims to protect the environment, encourage growth, maximize infrastructure use, and implement practices like reducing development impact, increasing green spaces, and promoting alternative transportation. The planning department oversees land use boards and reviews development applications, totaling over $295 million in projects in 2012-2013, including expansions of the Classic Center, hospitals, and industrial/commercial facilities.Choquette 7481
1) The document discusses the need for a new "land ethical" approach to city design that focuses on environmental sustainability, social justice, and economic prosperity over the long term.
2) It contrasts the post-World War II suburban development model of William Levitt with the "land ethic" philosophy of Aldo Leopold, arguing Leopold's approach should instead guide modern city planning.
3) The land ethic values preserving the integrity of natural systems and considers human communities as integral parts of the larger biotic community.
Paris 7473
The document discusses how gardening in housing surroundings can help people dwell together through a shared sense of time. Gardening allows residents to both distance themselves from and develop relationships with neighbors. It also helps root people in place over years and allows them to negotiate spaces through various receptiveness patterns like struggle, avoidance, tolerance, and imitation. Studying doorstep gardens revealed they provide a place of rootedness, a place to be negotiated, and a place of re-creation, helping residents craft personal times and communally restore themselves. Gardening thus empowers residents to improve their lives and dwell harmoniously while sustaining themselves against submission to time.

The document discusses the relationship between land use allocation and traffic flows in the Attica basin region of Greece. It analyzes recorded daily traffic counts from 1991 to identify three categories of roads based on vehicle volumes. It then uses principal component analysis to identify three main functional components of economic activities in the region: 1) functional centers and light manufacturing, 2) industrial and supplementary land uses, and 3) central business districts. The analysis finds that the allocation of these economic activity components is strongly associated with the road categories, with functional centers located along lower-volume roads, industries located along higher-volume roads, and central business districts also located along higher-volume roads. The study concludes the functional and traffic structures of the Attica basin have
Narasimhan 7537
The document outlines a case study of land use around Chennai's metro network. It notes that underutilized land and transit resources are pushing development to the suburbs, causing sprawl. The current pattern of unregulated growth is creating an unhygienic environment. It recommends developing pedestrian-oriented "transit towns" around metro stations to maximize infrastructure use and reduce sprawl. Indian Railways could act as a catalytic developer to redevelop railway colonies into model transit towns.

1. The document discusses how social scientists are developing models to understand how socio-psychological factors impact environmental policy and issues like waste management.
2. It examines two main theories - attitude theory which looks at how thoughts influence behavior, and behavioral analysis which examines rewards/punishments.
3. A key issue is that the psychological approaches are individualistic, and a more sociological understanding is needed that considers social connections and cooperation in communities.
Density
This document discusses creating equitable density through major urban development projects in San Francisco. It provides examples of how previous projects incorporated affordable housing, parks and open space, jobs, and transit access. The speaker argues that density can increase land value to support public benefits if regulatory powers are used to maximize affordable housing, community amenities, and economic opportunities. Challenges to creating equity through density include determining where dense development occurs, addressing cultural issues in mixed-income communities, and finding consensus on balancing different policy priorities.
Holtzclaw
The document discusses the benefits of density from environmental and economic perspectives, as well as some concerns around gentrification. It provides examples of high density housing in various cities like Portland, San Francisco, and El Cerrito.

Urban Problems and Perspectives
This document discusses urban transport challenges and solutions. It notes that as urban populations and vehicles increase, cities face constraints on resources. This implies a huge challenge to build infrastructure while limiting environmental and public health impacts. The document evaluates two approaches: capital intensive solutions like expanding roads and rail; and changing paradigms by prioritizing non-motorized transport and bus systems. It argues that alternative solutions can transform cities in a low-cost, high impact way through compact development focused on pedestrians, bicycles, public transit and disincentives for car use. Examples from cities like Bogota demonstrate extraordinary results from integrated sustainable transport policies.

This document summarizes a presentation on lessons learned from developing sustainable transport infrastructure in Gdansk, Poland. It discusses how current urban transport policy favors motor vehicles over other modes and outlines alternative approaches. These include prioritizing improvements to walking conditions, mainstreaming cycling, and using education to promote active mobility and multi-modal trip chains. The conclusion is that simply focusing on public transit is not enough; soft measures like information campaigns are also needed to change mindsets and enable truly sustainable transport solutions.
Mobilizing ecologies: Participation and Intermodality to Build Coalitions Pro...
This document summarizes a presentation on building coalitions for sustainable transport and bus rapid transit (BRT). It discusses:
1) Rethinking social sustainability and transport by focusing on health, inclusion, and resilience rather than just mobility.
2) An "ecology of modes" that integrates diverse transportation options like walking, cycling, and public transit through intermodality.
3) An "ecology of actors" that recognizes the importance of a diverse and robust network of citizen organizations in shifting to sustainability.
It argues for more participatory planning and building powerful alliances to support sustainable transportation goals.

Sustainable town planning and mobility are important for urban development. Sustainable mobility through public transportation and non-motorized modes can improve quality of life by reducing traffic while supporting economic growth. Integrating land use and transportation planning along with stakeholder participation are keys to achieving sustainability goals. Past projects in Aveiro failed because they did not sufficiently consider urban planning, mobility issues, residents' needs, or involve all stakeholders. The future requires a shared vision and coordinated strategies to integrate sustainable urban planning and mobility.

Spicycles final booklet_small
This document discusses public bicycle schemes in European cities. It finds that public bicycle schemes have grown rapidly since 2007, with standards emerging around automated rental/return, fixed stations, smart cards for access, and high network density. While established cycling countries have been slower to adopt public bicycles due to existing bike culture and regulations, newcomer countries have seen more impressive acceptance rates. New EU member states are also starting more modest schemes due to limited financing. Driving forces behind public bicycles include sustainability demands, support from municipalities as a low-cost transit option, and companies seeking advertising contracts or expanding mobility offerings.

Endangered species are competing with growing rural human populations for habitat and resources on private lands not protected by the government. Previous attempts to address this such as handouts, legislation, and enforcement have failed to create an equitable solution. African cities are expanding rapidly due to population growth and rural migration, but many cannot provide basic needs. This has led to overexploitation of natural resources for hundreds of miles around cities, negatively impacting rural communities and endangered species. If not addressed, rural areas without resources will become impoverished and potential hotspots for disease and conflict. Long-term solutions require political support for rural communities to protect environments and integrating biodiversity protection into development and aid discussions. Cities must also find sustainable ways to meet
