Emerging Paradigms in Urban Mobility: Planning, Finance and Implementation explains the types of new urban mobility planning paradigms that are emerging throughout the world, along with their potential to transform the transportation landscape. As half of the world’s 7 billion people now live in cities, thus causing severe road congestion, increased air pollution, energy insecurity and sustainability problems in cities and the planet itself, this book presents new paradigms that are emerging to address these problems, along with other topics of note, including economic efficiency, health, the well-being of cities and their residents, urban mobility transformations, and the role of social media.

In addition, the book looks at Integrated Corridor Management and how it improves the people-moving performance of multi-modal transport systems in high demand urban corridors and how countries balance the mobility benefits of motorcycles with the environmental and safety threats they pose.

  • Provides previously unpublished research on new approaches to integrating governance, the changing role of IT, and shared mobility initiatives
  • Links transportation and land use, climate change, and poverty reduction and gender, going well beyond the technical issues of transport planning
  • Highlights successful factors that have worked and how they can be tailored to different contexts
  • Includes learning aids, such as case studies, text boxes and chapter openers and summaries
