World population growth and economic prosperity have given rise to
ever-increasing demands on cities, transportation planning, and
goods movement. This growth, coupled with a slower pace of
transportation capacity expansion and deteriorated facility
restoration, has led to rapid changes in the transportation
planning and policy environment. These stresses are particularly
acute for megacities where degradation of mobility and facility
performance have reached alarming rates. Addressing these
transportation challenges requires innovative solutions. Megacity
Mobility grapples with these challenges by addressing
transportation policy, planning, and facilities in a multimodal
context. It discusses innovative short- and long-term solutions for
meeting current and future mobility needs for the world's most
dynamic cities by addressing the influence of urban land use on
mobility, 3D spiderweb transportation planning, travel demand
management, multimodal transportation with flexible capacity,
efficient capacity utilization driven by new technologies,
innovative transportation funding and financing, and
performance-based budget allocation using asset management
principles. It discusses emerging issues, highlights potential
challenges affecting proposed solutions, and provides policymakers,
planners, and transportation professionals a road map to achieving
sustainable mobility in the 21st century. Zongzhi Li is a professor
and the director of the Sustainable Transportation and
Infrastructure Research (STAIR) Center at Illinois Institute of
Technology (IIT). Adrian T. Moore is vice president of policy at
Reason Foundation in Washington, D.C., with focuses on
privatization, transportation and urban growth, and more. Samuel R.
Staley is the director of the DeVoe L. Moore Center in the College
of Social Sciences and Public Policy at Florida State University.
