Good urban planning develops human-scale cities and encourages modes such as bicycles, increased zones exclusive to pedestrians within the cities, and changed fiscal policies to incentivise public over private transport. Equally, it requires good engineering design to manage road use. This book brings together contributions from leading international experts in urban planning, transport and governance who suggest changes to make our cities more sustainable in the face of climate change. All professionals working in transport and engineering and planning students will find an overview of a broad field in this interdisciplinary collection of essays."--Provided by publisher. 0aUrban transportationxPlanning.938530 0aUrban transportationxEnvironmental aspects.938155 0aTransportationxSafety measures.922858 0aSustainable urban development.9233791 aMohan, Dinesh,d1945-eeditor.91102771 aTiwari, Geetam,eeditor.911027808iOnline version:tSustainable approaches to urban transportdBoca Raton, FL : Taylor & Francis Group, [2020]z9781351004855w(DLC) 2018044903  a7brixcorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBK  c593712d593712  00102ddc4070aNITbNITd2023-03-14l0o388.4042 MOHpNIT-13631r2023-03-14w2023-03-14yBK
