Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Cont.) academics, researchers, and practitioners interested in improving transportation and air quality in the region. The survey shows that there is hesitation in considering any such policy in the MCMA without prior improvements in public transport. In light of these findings, we have outlined the complicated issues surrounding implementation, with recommendations for a course of action given the current policy agenda. The findings presented in this thesis can be used by decision makers in Mexico City to design a set of policies for improving mobility, with a better understanding of the issues surrounding congestion pricing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . . . this book is an interesting collection of papers on the topic of road congestion pricing. . . The reader should find this collection to be both interesting and informative, but also quite thought-provoking. . . The papers also provide some very useful information about projects that have not worked or have not been implemented for various reasons and lessons that can be learnt from failures to implement and failures of pricing schemes. Peter R. Stopher, International Planning Studies In February 2003, the London Congestion Charging Scheme was introduced and in 2006 a similar policy was introduced in Stockholm. In both cases automobile traffic entering the cordon declined by about 20 percent. This book evaluates these and other similar programs exploring their implications for the United States. While there is increasing interest in road pricing in the US in many individual states, the motivation is often highway financing rather than congestion relief. The contributors argue that the prospects for extensive implementation in the US remain uncertain. Nevertheless, this book illustrates that the European experience suggests political feasibility is much less of a hurdle than was once considered and that congestion pricing would have a significant impact in reducing traffic as it did in Europe. This study s value lies in the fact that it examines road pricing in the real world and not simply from a theoretical viewpoint. As a comparative study it will appeal to both policymakers and academics in transportation economics and planning, urban economics, planning and economic geography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As more and more cities consider introducing urban road pricing schemes, this book describes, compares and contrasts arguments for and against using this transport policy instrument.It investigates the acceptability of various forms of road pricing schemes by examining and contextualising actual schemes and hypothetical scenarios. The resulting analysis provides a sociological theory of acceptability, carefully grounded in arguments about road pricing, which demonstrates how professional discourses diverge from publicly acceptable arguments. It also suggests ways in which consensus can be reached between the various road pricing options.

Book excerpt: Traffic Congestion and Land Use Regulations: Theory and Policy Analysis explores why, when, where and how land use regulations are utilized in cities to address road transportation congestion. The book shows how to design optimal density and zonal regulations for efficient traffic flow in cities, examines land use regulations using optimal control theory, and offers detailed insights into the mechanisms behind optimal regulations and techniques for exploring spatial optimal policies. Discussions from this book will help highlight the practical usefulness of land use regulations for the maximization of urban social welfare. Uniquely explores land use regulations and traffic congestion from both theoretical and applied perspectives Reviews and summarizes the most recent academic research in urban economics, land use management and transportation congestion Demonstrates important, but less commonly used regulations, such as minimum floor area regulations Provides insights on how to construct smarter cities using the latest research in land use regulations
Download or read book Urban Traffic Congestion Pricing written by Xun Fang and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic congestion has become one of the most pressing problems for metropolitan cities around the world. Hence, the introduction of congestion pricing is often debated in many larger cities, yet only few have successfully implemented it so far. This thesis reviews the contemporary body of literature over the past decade and real-world applications of urban traffic congestion pricing. Through a systematic literature search and classification process, three overarching themes are identified: 1) the effectiveness of congestion pricing practices; 2) main obstacles including public acceptability and equity concern; and 3) scheme optimization. This study further identifies secondary effects as the neglected area that require more attention in future research. Based on the findings, the study analytically discussed three influential real-world cases: Milan, Gothenburg, and New York City. The high public acceptability of Milan’s Area C plan can be explained from its detailed scheme design. The case in Gothenburg is criticized for hasty implementation and lack of in-depth research and detailed scheme design. New York City has experienced tortuous process before the final approval, and it will still face the challenge of equity concern. Based on the literature review and discussion of real-word applications, this study concludes political support is one determining factor of congestion pricing implementation which is as important as public acceptability. Additionally, the significant influential impacts between cases are identified as one propulsion for future development. Finally, prospects for widespread implementation in developing cities and American cities are explored and assessed as challenging.
Download or read book Exploring Sustainable Development written by Martin Purvis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable development is capturing the attention of planners, politicians and business leaders. Within the academic sphere its study is increasingly breaching disciplinary boundaries to become a focus of attention for natural and social scientists alike. But in studying such a key concept, it is vital that there is a clear definition of what it means, how it is applied on the ground, and the influence it exerts upon people's perceptions of change in the physical environment, economic activity and society. Exploring Sustainable Development is a major new text which provides a multifaceted introduction to key areas of study in this field, examining sustainability at the full range of spatial scales from the local to the global. Building on existing theory it demonstrates the unique contributions that thinking geographically about space, place and human-environment relationships can bring to the analysis of sustainable development. This book explores different interpretations of sustainable development in both theory and practice, in developed and developing countries, and in rural and urban areas. It pays particular attention to the local, national and international politics of implementation, the future of climate and energy, the role of business, and different conceptions of agricultural sustainability. This wide-ranging text is ideal for undergraduates and postgraduates in geography, environmental science, development studies, and related social and political sciences.
Download or read book Global Im Possibilities written by Phoebe Godfrey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when environmental and social stakes are at their highest – with rising crises and contradictions at the nexus of a building sense of environmental and social collapse – there are no easy solutions. Global Im-Possibilities explores just what can be done around the world to ameliorate this dynamic. Using a range of essays and a multitude of case studies, this book explores what new lessons can be learned from examining the challenges and impediments to achieving just sustainabilities on the levels of policy, planning, and practice, and considers how these challenges and impediments can be addressed by individuals and/or governments. Taking a nuanced approach to provide an intersectional analysis of a particular issue relating to the ideals for achieving sustainability, this book asserts that that it is only in recognizing such complexity that we can hope to achieve just sustainabilities.
Download or read book Disruptive Transport written by William Riggs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the rise of shared and networked vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and other transportation technologies, technological change is outpacing urban planning and policy. Whether urban planners and policy makers like it or not, these transformations will in turn result in profound changes to streets, land use, and cities. But smarter transportation may not necessarily translate into greater sustainability or equity. There are clear opportunities to shape advances in transportation, and to harness them to reshape cities and improve the socio-economic health of cities and residents. There are opportunities to reduce collisions and improve access to healthcare for those who need it most—particularly high-cost, high-need individuals at the younger and older ends of the age spectrum. There is also potential to connect individuals to jobs and change the way cities organize space and optimize trips. To date, very little discussion has centered around the job and social implications of this technology. Further, policy dialogue on future transport has lagged—particularly in the arenas of sustainability and social justice. Little work has been done on decision-making in this high uncertainty environment–a deficiency that is concerning given that land use and transportation actions have long and lagging timelines. This is one of the first books to explore the impact that emerging transport technology is having on cities and their residents, and how policy is needed to shape the cities that we want to have in the future. The book contains a selection of contributions based on the most advanced empirical research, and case studies for how future transport can be harnessed to improve urban sustainability and justice.
