Urban planners in developed countries are pushing hard for closer
integration of land use and transport. At the same time, gaps in
knowledge and understanding are becoming more apparent, as the
traditional focus has been on the shape of the city, rather than
how it functions as a place to live and visit. How Great Cities
Happen addresses this challenge by developing a wider,
all-encompassing agenda for more productive, inclusive and
sustainable cities. This book's innovative approach to land use and
transport planning covers such issues as: urban planning for
productivity growth; social inclusion and wellbeing (including what
makes a great city for children); and environmental sustainability.
Extensive discussions of affordable housing and analyses of funding
opportunities for increased investment in urban public transport
are also provided. In addition, the book offers a review of the
governance frameworks that can best integrate top-down strategic
thinking and bottom-up approaches into a more holistic strategy.
The authors adopt a meticulous yet non-technical approach, grounded
in a blend of academic and real-world experience of cities. The
work will appeal to students in urban planning, policy, economics,
transport economics and social and environmental policy.
Professional planners and urban policymakers will also benefit from
the strong policy orientation.
