Walkable Neighborhood Systems Published Manuscript
This document defines walkable neighborhood systems and proposes them as an alternative to suburbia. It discusses how suburbia spread across the US landscape from the 1920s onward, negatively impacting the economy and environment. The key aspects of walkable neighborhood systems are defined as having sufficient density (>50 people per acre) to support local businesses and frequent transit within walkable distances, allowing most trips to be taken by walking and transit rather than cars. The document argues that pricing reforms and policies promoting "green mobility" could help make walkable neighborhood systems more competitive and sustainable than low-density suburbia. It calls for more research on high-density neighborhoods and pricing reforms to better understand walkable systems.
Poll slides upload
The document summarizes the results of a regional poll of 800 residents in 7 parishes along the Baton Rouge to New Orleans corridor on quality of life and transportation issues. Key findings include that residents express affection for their neighborhoods but have concerns about issues like traffic, housing costs and energy costs. They value walkable neighborhoods and prefer solutions like expanding public transit and building new bike/walking paths over widening roads. A majority support passenger rail connecting Baton Rouge and New Orleans and believe it could help reduce traffic and boost economic growth.

This document discusses a study on the livelihoods of women living in the Semmencherry Resettlement Area in Chennai, India. The study examines how women's access to public transportation affects their livelihood assets and spatial practices. It finds that transportation has a multiplier effect, improving livelihood assets for women who can freely choose transportation, but worsening the position of women dependent on transportation for their livelihoods. The document outlines the study's methodology, case context, findings on daily travel and access to facilities. It analyzes factors influencing transportation access and the strategies women use to cope. The conclusion is that transportation plays a key role in inclusion or exclusion from the city and its livelihood opportunities.Recommended

The document summarizes plans to transform Tysons Corner, Virginia from an auto-oriented suburban office park into a more sustainable, transit-oriented urban center. Currently, Tysons Corner has 105,000 jobs and 17,000 residents spread across a traffic-clogged area with few transit options. The plans aim to concentrate new development within a half mile of four new Metro stations, adding 100,000 residents and 200,000 jobs. This will create a more walkable, urban environment organized around transit and high-density mixed-use development. The plans were developed over five years through extensive public outreach and input.

Is Access Management The Enemy
Access management, which controls how vehicles enter and exit property from roads, can negatively impact pedestrians if not properly implemented. Without good access management, conflicts increase between pedestrians, bicyclists and cars as the number of access points rises. However, with techniques like landscaping, signage and channelization, access management can improve safety, aesthetics and efficiency while also creating a more pedestrian and transit friendly environment.

Achieving Greener and Cleaner Cities: the Role of Green-Navigation Systems
Achieving Greener and Cleaner Cities: the Role of Green-Navigation SystemsWRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities
1) Green-navigation systems aim to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality in cities by routing drivers along cleaner routes using fuel consumption as the impedance function rather than time or cost alone.
2) A study of Madrid modeled the impact of different adoption rates of green-navigation systems and found they could reduce CO2 and NOx emissions across the city by up to 40% while maintaining traffic performance.
3) The greatest emissions reductions occurred in the city center, where reductions of over 60% in traffic volumes and travel times were seen with high adoption rates of green-navigation systems.Improving China's State of Place: Why the Path Toward a Sustainable China is ...
Walkability – or the ability to conveniently, safely, comfortably, and pleasurably walk to everyday needs and amenities – has been increasingly tied to improved health, broadly defined to include not just physical and mental health, but also social, community, environmental and even fiscal health. While the US and other Western countries have begun to make strides to increase walkability and promote
healthy placemaking, China continues to push forward car-centric urbanization and along with it rising rates of obesity, diabetes, cancer, and air pollution. Yet China has a huge opportunity - over 50 new cities, each with populations of over 1 million people, will be built in the next 20 years. This presentation outlines how walkability is tied to the broad concept of health and identifies the key physical, socio-cultural and policy barriers that must be addressed in order to move toward more sustainable development that promotes livability and walkability, thereby enhancing the State – and health – of Chinese cities.

How green is your city? Measuring and developping sustainable cities
European Forum "Sharing initiatives for a green and connected city" - 27 May 2008 - Committee of the Regions, Brussels
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.

Sustainable Transport Saves Lives: Opportunities and Challenges for Urban Ind...WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities
The document discusses the relationship between transport and public health, noting that transport creates health risks through air pollution, road safety issues, and reduced physical activity. It argues that traditional transport approaches focused on predicting and accommodating increased auto traffic have resulted in increased auto dependency and are unsustainable. However, developing countries have an opportunity to adopt more sustainable transport solutions, as seen in examples from cities in Latin America and Asia. The key challenges to sustainable transport are rapid urbanization and motorization trends in developing nations. Overcoming these challenges requires shifting priorities from motor vehicles to people through integrated planning focused on avoiding unnecessary trips, shifting trips to more sustainable modes, and improving transport networks.CNU Sustainable Communities
The document discusses principles of new urbanism for creating sustainable, livable communities. It outlines 27 core principles focused on regional planning, neighborhood design, and human-scale architecture. The principles promote compact, mixed-use, and walkable development to reduce sprawl and automobile dependence. They include connected street networks, diverse housing types, and prioritizing pedestrians. New urbanist codes and LEED-ND standards now provide tools to implement these principles and overcome barriers in conventional zoning.
