Description
Featuring papers from the Fifth International Conference on Urban Transport, this work reflects the preoccupation with the environment, an area of investigation which is set to increase still further. The volume contains the work of scientists from around the world, each bringing their own particular urban experiences to enrich the transportation debate, and papers are divided under the following headings: environmental aspects; air quality; emissions; urban transport; parking; freight; traffic modelling; location planning; cost studies; noise pollution; and city planning. Collectively the contributions to this work demonstrate that whatever policy may seem appropriate for any city or region, it is an inescapable fact that government at local and national level will find no easy panacea to transport problems in their cities. At the same time, infrastructure investment is not always quantifiable, but will be a compound of greater productivity, urban regeneration and greater social stability for all.
