MANAGING TRANSPORT. MANAGING OF TRANSPORT SYSTEMS TO IMPROVE THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT

The experience of selected cities; Beasancon (France), Brussels (Belgium), Geneva (Switzerland), Gothenburg (Sweden), Groningen (the Netherlands), London (United Kingdom), Madison (United States), Nagoya (Japan), Nottingham (United Kingdom), Ottawa (Canada), Paris (France) and Singapore which have implemented management-orientated transport policies is summarized, and the impact of these policies on transport system efficiency and urban environment, particularly air quality, noise, accidents, congestion, land use, and management of urban public space is assessed. Their implementation is also the object of careful evaluation. The second chapter of the report deals with the impact of such management-orientated transport policies on national concerns in the sectors of environment, energy, employment, inner city revitalization and financing. Subsequent chapters are devoted to edited versions of the case studies on which the opening chapter is based. (TRRL)
