"Urban transport systems worldwide are faced by a multitude of challenges. Among the
most visible of these are the traffic gridlocks experienced on city roads and highways
all over the world. The prescribed solution to transport problems in most cities has
thus been to build more infrastructures for cars, with a limited number of cities
improving public transport systems in a sustainable manner. However, a number of challenges
faced by urban transport systems - such as greenhouse gas emissions, noise and air
pollution and road traffic accidents - do not necessarily get solved by the construction
of new infrastructure. Planning and Design for Sustainable Urban Mobility argues that
the development of sustainable urban transport systems requires a conceptual leap.
The purpose of 'transportation' and 'mobility' is to gain access to destinations,
activities, services and goods. Thus, access is the ultimate objective of transportation.
As a result, urban planning and design should focus on how to bring people and places
together, by creating cities that focus on accessibility, rather than simply increasing
the length of urban transport infrastructure or increasing the movement of people
or goods. Urban form and the functionality of the city are therefore a major focus
of this report, which highlights the importance of integrated land-use and transport
planning. This new report of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat),
the world's leading authority on urban issues, provides some thought-provoking insights
and policy recommendations on how to plan and design sustainable urban mobility systems."
