Book excerpt: Urban Transport XXI contains the proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment. The series of annual conferences organised by the Wessex Institute was first held in 1995. Transportation in urban areas, with its related environmental and social impacts, is a topic of significant concern for policymakers in both municipal and central government and for the urban citizens who need effective and efficient transport systems. Urban transport systems require considerable studies to devise and then safeguard their operational use, maintenance and safety. Transportation systems produce significant environmental impacts and can enhance or degrade the quality of life in urban centres. Clearly the challenge of providing effective and efficient transport systems in urban settings remains an acute concern, with financial, political and environmental constraints limiting the ability of transport system planners and operators to deliver the high quality outcomes expected by the public. Papers cover such topics as: Urban Transport Planning and Management; Urban Transport Strategies; Public Transport Systems; Environmental Aspects; Economic and Social Impact; Safety and Security; Travel Behaviour Studies; Customer Satisfaction; Transportation Modelling and Simulation; Infrastructure Development; Intelligent and Advanced Transport Systems; Transportation Integration; City Logistics; Resilience and Inter-modal Transport Systems; Mass Transport Strategies; Social Impacts; Freight Transport; Railway Systems; Transport Governance and Administration; Port and City; Mobility and Public Space; Life Cycle Management.

Download or read book Le pi ton dans la ville l espace public partag written by Jean-Jacques Terrin and published by Parenthèses Editions. This book was released on 2011 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si l'automobile, puis les transports en commun ont longtemps été privilégiés par les politiques de mobilité des grandes villes européennes, la marche se trouve aujourd'hui au coeur des réflexions, comme réponse aux enjeux du développement durable. Elle s'impose en effet dans son rapport aux autres modes de déplacement, facilite l'accessibilité et relie l'ensemble des activités qu'offre la ville : consommation, travail, loisirs, culture, détente... L'enjeu des villes est non seulement de faire cohabiter les divers modes de déplacement dans l'espace public, mais aussi de relier les différents types d'usages et d'usagers. Les cas de Paris, Lyon, Amsterdam, Londres, Copenhague, Lausanne et Vienne sont ici analysés. Quel est le contexte spécifique de chacune de ces villes ? Quelles stratégies de partage développent-elles ? Quelles innovations conceptuelles et technologiques associent-elles à ces pratiques ? L'ouvrage éclaire la façon dont le piéton trouve sa place dans le processus de rééquilibrage de l'espace public et comment la lenteur peut représenter une culture garante d'une certaine qualité de vie.
