Summary
Summary
Within this innovative compilation you'll get a first-hand look at the argument for ``green'' modes of transportation within cities (walking and cycling). Part One addresses the principles of green transport planning and outlines the environmental, social and economic issues. The policy obstacles to implementing green modes are analyzed and compared, and the concepts of environmental traffic management are developed. Part Two illustrates the practice of environmentally sound transport planning through examples of successful traffic restraint and exclusion in a variety of urban settings and policy environments. Present achievements are reviewed and future priorities are discussed.
