Transport in urban areas is increasing issues with rising car ownership such as air pollution, congestion, accidents, and noise pollution. There are ways to make transport more sustainable such as congestion charges, park and ride schemes, car sharing, improved cycling infrastructure, restricting lanes to high-occupancy vehicles, and improving public transportation through bus lanes and restricted parking. Concept mapping can help explain how these factors interconnect and relate to reducing problems from increased private vehicle use.
This is the main issue of countries all over the world: CO2 emissions and air pollution in urban areas have reached a critical level in recent years.
Cities are now taking action, preventing polluting transport to access to their centre. E-commerce acceleration, 1-day delivery, a local network of distribution sites. As a distributor, we already set up solutions to deliver our customers until the last mile. Today, we go further, developing a more responsible delivery and keeping a high service rate to reach all of our clients, whatever their needs, wherever they are.

Snapshots Of A Speeding Train: The Current State of Internet Videobillgurley
I recently spoke at AlwaysOn's OnHollywood conference on the subjects of today's extremely dynamic online/Internet video world. Things are moving so exceedingly fast that its extremely hard to predict specific outcomes. That said, there are a number of key issues to understand as we watch this market unfold over the next few years.
At Deliveroo I worked on their global rebranding campaign, creating over a thousand pieces of large format, digital and print ATL work. Pieces included Interactive panels, billboards, digital displays and tube & train station manifesto’s for over ten countries worldwide.

Could the sufficiency of vehicles be used to apply a progressive and large-sc...Pierre Mohr Durdez
Cities deal with their cars in black and white: either all of them have equal access to an area, or none of them has. But not all cars are the same, in terms of weight for example. Lighter cars statistically consume less, pollute less, are cheaper and smaller (so they take less parking space). Sounds good in an urban context no? This presentation is the result of a master's thesis I did at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and proposes to redesign congestion charging schemes (like the one used in London for instance) to incentivize the use of lighter vehicles at the city scale.
Barter on What is Success in Urban Transport?Paul Barter
Presented to Junior College geography students at Temasek JC, Singapore, 11 August 2010. Discusses for a general audience competing ideas about how to define 'success' in urban transport policy. Warns to be careful what you wish for. Wanting faster traffic and cheaper driving can be traps.

3. Success Criteria
O Understand the difference between public
and private transport.
O Consider the impact on transport on the
environment.
O Weigh-up different ways of making transport
more sustainable.
5. Car Ownership
O Car ownership is increasing all the time.
O In London it has risen from 200,000 in
1930 to 2,500,000 in 2010
O In Delhi, India, it has risen from
500,000 in 1970 to 5,000,000 in 2008
O Both LIC and HIC have the same
problems occuring
6. TASK: Concept Map
O A concept map is designed to link
factors and help you explain them
O It simplifies the information so you can
identify links.
O
increasing car
Put
ownership in the middle of a
double page in your books
7. Concept Map
O Now around the centre, put all of the
problems with increasing car ownership
you can think of.
Poor public
Air Pollution Congestion
transport
Noise Building more
Accidents
pollution roads
8. How to make this more
sustainable
O Curitiba: The Smart City
O There are a number of ways in which
government / local authorities can make
this more sustainable
O Can you think of any that you may
already have seen?
O Add these schemes to your concept map
9. Did you get.....
• Congestion charges
• Park and ride
• Car sharing
• Cycle lanes
• Road lanes that only allow cars with 2+ people
• Pedestrian areas
• Bus only areas
• Bus lanes
• Restricted parking in CBDs
• Better public transport
10. Concept Map
O Your map should now have lots of boxes
scattered around the centre
O Draw a line between all of the boxes
you are think related to one another
Congestion
Air Pollution charge
Congestion charges will stop cars
coming into the central area, less
cars mean less fumes, less air
pollution
11. Extension
O Use page 27 and 28 to write specific
facts about congestion charges and
park and ride
