2. ENERGY and TRANSPORT
• “As the share of the world’s
population living in cities grows
to nearly 70 percent by 2050 and
energy consumption for
transport in cities is expected to
double, the need for efficient,
affordable, safe and high-capacity
transport solutions will become
more acute,”
IEA Executive Director Maria van der
Hoeven
3. ENERGY and TRANSPORT
•
critical steps to improve the
efficiency of urban transport
systems are needed not only for
energy security reasons, but also to:
1 .mitigate the
numerous negative
climate,
2. noise,
3. air pollution,
4.congestion and
economic impacts of
rising urban transport
volumes

must be to
reduce the need
for movement
using private

5. ENERGY and TRANSPORT
• Planning and
designing urban
forms for the
reduced need
for mobility is a
longer-term
solution to the
problems facing
society.

• It depends upon
individuals
gradually
changing their
lifestyle to one
which is less
dependent on
the private car
for mobility.

7. ENERGY and TRANSPORT
•
It was thirty years ago that
limitations on the use of the
private motor car must be
imposed in order to safeguard
the local environment from :
– noxious fumes,
– noise and visual
degradation
– to reducing the
stress being placed
on the climate by
greenhouse gases.

8. ROAD TRAFFIC AND POLLUTION
• The city’s
transportation
system cannot be
solved by building
more roads
because such a
formula will not in
the end solve the
problem.

• Public
transport,
• cycling

10. Eight objectives for achieving a sustainable
transport policy
(The Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution ,1994)
• (1) To ensure that an
effective transport policy at
all levels of government is
integrated with land use
policy and gives priority to
minimizing the need for
transport and increasing the
proportion of trips by
environmentally less
damaging modes.
•
(2) To achieve standards of
air quality that will prevent
damage to human health
and the environment.

11. Eight objectives for achieving a sustainable
transport policy
(The Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution ,1994)
• (3) To improve the quality
of life, particularly in towns
and cities, by reducing the
dominance of cars and
lorries and providing
alternative means of
access.
• (4) To increase the
proportions of personal
travel and freight transport
by environmentally less
damaging modes and to
make the best use of
existing infrastructure.

12. Eight objectives for achieving a sustainable
transport policy
(The Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution ,1994)
• (5) To halt the loss of land
to transport
infrastructure in areas of
conservation, cultural,
scenic or amenity value,
unless the use of land for
that purpose has been
shown to be the best
practicable environmental
option.
• (6) To reduce carbon
dioxide emissions from
transport.

transport policy
(The Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution ,1994)
• (7) To reduce
substantially the
demands which
transport
infrastructure and
the vehicle industry
place on nonrenewable materials.
• (8) To reduce noise
nuisance from
transport.
