OECD Urban Studies Improving Transport Planning for Accessible Cities
Author: OECD
Publisher: OECD Publishing
ISBN: 926459356X
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
Cities are places of opportunity. They provide not just jobs but a whole range of public, cultural, social and consumption amenities. Transport is what connects people to these opportunities and cities provide access with varying degrees of success – especially when it comes to modes of transport that favour a green transition. This report argues that building sustainable transport networks for accessible cities requires a holistic planning approach, a sound institutional framework, reliable sources of funding, strong governmental capacity, and should build on community engagement.

Category : Development economics
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
This open access book presents the findings of the CIVITAS DESTINATIONS project regarding the link between mobility and tourism in urban areas and the complications tourist destinations face in becoming more sustainable.
