The Greening of Urban Transport: Planning for Walking and Cycling in Western Cities - Tapa dura

This second edition is entirely revised to cover the latest issues and examples of green modes of transport, such as non-car, and how they are incorporated into modern city transport plans. First published in September 1991 and in paperback in January 1993, this is a core text on environmentally sensitive transport planning in Western cities. It provides a primer on the "green modes" - walking and cycling - and describes the theory and illustrates the practice in a variety of ways. The new edition takes account of changes - some of which were generated by this book itself - and developments in planning practice. Environmentally-aware transport planning is of great concern to policy makers and city administrators/managers, and this text offers a comprehensive review of green mode planning and environmentally sensitive transport.
