THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND THE MOTOR VEHICLE

THIS PAPER MAKES A CASE FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE AND INTEGRATED APPROACH TO THE PLANNING OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE MOTOR VEHICLE. A BRIEF REFERENCE TO URBAN EVOLUTION IS MADE IN ORDER TO SEE THE PROBLEM IN ITS EVOLUTIONARY CONTEXT. THE IMPACT ON URBAN ENVIRONMENTS OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF TRANSPORT IS ANALYZED. THE PROBLEM IS CONSIDERED AT THREE PLANNING LEVELS, NATIONAL, REGIONAL, AND LOCAL, AND THE CURRENT TREND OF DECENTRALIZATION OF INDIVIDUAL URBAN COMPONENTS IS MENTIONED. IN CONCLUSION, THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INTEGRATION OF TRANSPORT PLANNING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING IS STRESSED, AS IS THE NEED TO DISTRIBUTE EQUALLY LAND USES AND TRAFFIC GENERATORS. FINALLY MORE INTEGRATION OF RAIL AND ROAD SYSTEMS IS NECESSARY, TOGETHER WITH MORE STUDY AS TO HOW THIS COULD BE DONE. /AUTHOR/
