Unsustainable Transport and Transition in China

This book discusses various transport sustainability issues from developing countries’ perspective. It explores key issues, problems and potential solutions for unsustainable transport. It first reviews the current transport sustainability baselines in China in the three key dimensions of sustainability through an international comparison in 2010. Then, with a time frame of 2030, this study groups Chinese cities according to their common sustainability challenges in passenger transport. A systematic attempt is made to explore the opportunities and constraints of introducing the range of emerging sustainable mobility strategies both through statistical analysis and detailed fieldwork.
