The book deals with urban transportation planning in light of
environmental sustainability and social equity. It begins with a
review of the Indian urban transportation system and the issues
surrounding it, and discusses the alternatives and policy
directions that are being considered. It examines all the
environmental issues arising out of transportation as a sector and
assesses the alternatives that can be considered to improve
sustainability. Further, the book not only analyses transportation
modes that cater to the travel needs of the poor, so as to make
them more socially equitable, but also explores measures to promote
them using a multi-criteria and multi-stakeholder approach. It
addresses the barriers that are bottlenecks for the implementation
of cleaner fuels and modes of transport and presents an incremental
approach to tackle environmental concerns, including climate
change, when planning transportation in the long term. Finally, it
presents the dilemma of city administrators in choosing between
strategies aimed at local pollution control and those aimed at
limiting global emissions. This unique book provides a
comprehensive overview of "sustainable transportation." It
discusses all the important elements that are essential to
transportation planners and policy makers when planning a city's
transportation. Theoretical presentations augmented by
case-specific research work and the methodology used in some of the
modules, make it a valuable resource for researchers working at the
forefront of this area.
