The rapid growth of the Asian urban population concentrates on a
few large cities, turning them into giant megacities. Despite new
theoretical insights into the benefits of megacities, the emerging
Asia is facing a daunting challenge concerning the management of
infrastructure and services in their megacities. The deteriorating
urban mobility is the most difficult challenge with respect to the
sharp increase in vehicle numbers and to inadequate and poorly
managed road infrastructure. Public transport, a sustainable mode
of mobility, is subjected to a vicious cycle of poor service,
decreasing ridership and lower investment. Despite various policy
initiatives, the situation has not improved. The scale and growth
pattern of Asian megacities have distinctive features which
generate a unique set of challenges and opportunities. New
perspectives are needed to effectively address the transportation
problems making the best use of available opportunities. This book,
which is a result of an international collaborative research,
addresses these challenges by providing insightful analysis and
novel viewpoints.
