Transforming Cities with Transit: Transit and LandUse Integration for Sustainable Urban Development,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
'Transforming Cities with Transit' explores the complex process of transit and landuse integration in rapidly growing cities in developing countries. As one of the most promising strategies for advancing environmental sustainability, economic competitiveness, and socially inclusive development in fastgrowing cities, transit and landuse integration is increasingly being embraced by policymakers at all levels of government. This book focuses on identifying barriers to and opportunities for effective coordination of transport infrastructure and urban development. Global bestcase practices of transitoriented metropolises that have direct relevance to cities in developing countries are first introduced. Key institutional, regulatory, and financial constraints that hamper integration and opportunities to utilize transit to guide sustainable urban development are examined in selected cities in developing countries. For this, the book analyzes their Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems and their impact on land development. The book formulates recommendations and implementation strategies to overcome barriers and take advantage of opportunities. It asserts that unprecedented opportunities have and will continue to arise for the successful integration of transit and land development in much of the developing world. Many cities in developing countries currently exhibit the prerequisites e.g., rapid growth, rising real incomes, and increased motorization and congestion levels for BRT and railway investments to trigger meaningful landuse changes in economically and financially viable ways. Recommendations for creating more sustainable cities of the future range from macrolevel strategies that influence land development and governance at the metropolitan scale to microlevel initiatives, like Transit Oriented Development (TOD), that can radically transform development patterns at the neighborhood level. The book will be of interest to a wide and diverse audience, including mayors, council members and other national and local policy makers, urban and transportation planners, transitagency officials, and developers and staff of development financial institutions and others involved with TOD projects in rapidly growing and motorizing cities of the developing world.
