How to apply the concepts of sustainable development to transport

This report provides an analysis of "How to apply the concepts of Sustainable Development to Transport?" from the approaches implemented in selected cases - either policies, programmes or projects. These cases were considered to be illustrative, relevant or even exemplary in this regard and which could show both what can be achieved and also what can lead to situations of deadlock. This analysis of concrete cases involves four categories of examples: 1. prior activities that aim to integrate the ideas of sustainable development within road infrastructure; 2. approaches which involve the implementation of transport policies in developing urban areas; 3. approaches which illustrate situations of deadlock arising from a failure to integrate areas covered by sustainable development; 4. the implementation of road policies in developing countries.
