Taylor & Francis Crafting FormBased Codes
Book SynopsisThis book provides practical tools for creating form-based rules that help facilitate effective communication and consensus building, which are essential to ensuring healthy democratic processes in a regulatory culture.Trade Review"Outdated regulatory regimes waste time, create uncertainty, and too often compromise design quality. With a keen anthropological lens, Onaran explains the evolution and limitations of conventional code practice and offers practical remedies built on the best attributes of form-based codes. This book argues the strongest case to date for form-based approaches and is a must-read for those who care about the design of authentic and resilient places and the processes involved in crafting them." – Peter Park, Director, Peter J. Park, LLC, City Planning and Design, USA"Onaran’s book offers a clear view of both the methods and potential of well-framed and well-applied form-based codes. He focuses less on deep theory and more on principles and practical applications as he invites designers, planners and regulators to become well acquainted with what will surely become the zoning tool of choice in the 21st century." – Stefanos Polyzoides, Partner, Moule & Polyzoides Architects and Urbanists, USATable of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: The traffic light versus the officer Chapter 3: Informalization and the intellectual forces behind it Chapter 4: Challenges of informalization and the Vivant Cycle Chapter 5: Effective communication in interactive review processes Chapter 6: Archetypes and typologies Chapter 7: Crafting of lot types Chapter 8: Transect-based organization of a code that uses lot types Chapter 9: Dynamic lot types and tools to craft them Chapter 10: Coding for resilience Chapter 11: Conclusion

Taylor & Francis Ltd Megacity Mobility
Book SynopsisWorld population growth and economic prosperity have given rise to ever-increasing demands on cities, transportation planning, and goods movement. This growth, coupled with a slower pace of transportation capacity expansion and deteriorated facility restoration, has led to rapid changes in the transportation planning and policy environment. These stresses are particularly acute for megacities where degradation of mobility and facility performance have reached alarming rates. Addressing these transportation challenges requires innovative solutions. Megacity Mobility grapples with these challenges by addressing transportation policy, planning, and facilities in a multimodal context. It discusses innovative short- and long-term solutions for meeting current and future mobility needs for the world's most dynamic cities by addressing the influence of urban land use on mobility, 3D spiderweb transportation planning, travel demand management, multimodal transportation with flTable of Contents1 Introduction2 New perspectives of urban transportation decision-making3 Travel demand management4 Building out 3D highway transportation with flexible capacity5 Building out transit and multimodal transportation6 Mobility management for efficient capacity utilization7 Innovative transportation funding and financing8 Performance-based, mobility-centered transportation budget allocation9 The path to sustainable megacity mobility

Taylor & Francis Ltd Rethinking Parking
Book SynopsisFor much of the past century, we have viewed the issue of parking from the driver's seat. It follows that key narratives about parking reaffirm the immediate needs of the driver. A consequence of this approach is a failure to understand the significant damage that parking causes to the destination. That damage is amplified by cheap, easy' parking at the expense of place and access outcomes. Viewing parking from an urban planning and design perspective highlights different issues and opportunities. Five perspectives are offered: Place If we gave drivers all the parking they wanted, the destination would not be worth visiting. Politics Parking is intensely territorial, emotional, and prone to populism, and this is a barrier to strategic and sustainable parking reform. Policy Parking tends to be focused on the me, here and now' needs of the driver at the expense of bigger picture and longer term policy objectives.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Urban Mobility Development in Northeast India
Book SynopsisUrban Mobility Development in Northeast India theoretically and empirically explores the interrelationship between and among city, transportation, economic growth and environment to contribute towards engendering green urbanization for green growth.In a time of aggravating environmental crisis, the book recognizes the duality of contrasting impact of city and transport to economic development and environmental degradation. To serve as a guide for policy research, the book accessibly presents a contextual study blending qualitative as well as quantitative methodology in the context of a highland as well as a frontier capital city of the Northeastern Indian state of Nagaland, Kohima, towards creating a sustainable city with an inclusive and green mobility. The book underscores that management of urbanization and urban mobility challenges should go beyond supply side management and demand side management by democratizing policy making as well as considering efficiency, Table of ContentsList of Figures ixList of Tables xList of Abbreviations xiPreface xiiiPART IIntroduction 11 Green Urbanization for Green Growth 3PART IITheory 172 Apposite Economic Growth Path 193 Urbanization as Green Resource 39PART IIIPraxis 534 A Highland City at the Frontier 555 Theoretical Lessons for Sustainable Urban Mobility 736 Empirical Lessons for Sustainable Urban Mobility 98PART IVConclusion 1137 Appropriate Urban Policy Making 115Index 119

Taylor & Francis Ltd System Innovation for Sustainability 2: Case
Book SynopsisThe EU-funded project "Sustainable Consumption Research Exchanges" (SCORE!) consists of around 200 experts in the field of sustainable innovation and sustainable consumption. The SCORE! philosophy is that innovation in SCP (sustainable consumption and production) policy can be achieved only if experts that understand business development, (sustainable) solution design, consumer behaviour and system innovation policy work together in shaping it. Sustainable technology design can be effective only if business can make the products profitably and consumers are attracted to them. To understand how this might effectively happen, the expertise of systems thinkers must be added to the mix. The publication in 2008 of System Innovation for Sustainability 1 was the first result of a unique positive confrontation between experts from all four communities. It examined what SCP is and what it could be, provided a state-of-the-art review on the governance of change in SCP policy and looked at the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches. System Innovation for Sustainability 2 is the first of three books of case studies covering, respectively, the three key consumption areas of: mobility; food and agriculture; and energy use and housing. These three areas are responsible for 70% of the life-cycle environmental impacts of Western societies. These case studies aim to stimulate, foster or force change to SCP theory in practice. System Innovation for Sustainability 2 focuses on change towards sustainable personal mobility based on implemented cases analysed from a system perspective. It examines what changes can be made to help us reduce our need for mobility, or start to make use of more sustainable mobility systems. This is clearly a critical and highly problematic area, as increasing living standards of a growing global population have resulted in rapid rises in both car and air travel along with the associated pollution. Uniquely, this book approaches the problems and solutions from a systems perspective, explaining the meta-trends, specific issues for the mobility sector, socioeconomic trends, political considerations, socio-cultural developments and environmental issues. As well as the mobility system itself, other societal systems that impact the need for mobility, such as labour and taxation, are addressed in order to provide sustainable solutions to our current "lock-in" problems. Three major problem areas are considered (the "three Cs"): carbon emissions (and the growing contribution of mobility to the climate change crisis), congestion, and casualties. And each strategy proposed addresses one or more of these problem areas. Among the cases discussed are: Norway's carbon compensation scheme for air travel; Madrid's high-occupancy vehicle lanes; London's congestion charge scheme; market-based instruments such as eco-labelling for cars; and taxation. The book identifies opportunities for actors such as governments, manufacturers and consumers to intervene in the complex system to promote sustainable mobility. It concludes with a reflection on problems, trends and action needed. The System Innovation for Sustainability series is the fruit of the first major international research network on SCP and will set the standard in this field for some years to come. It will be required reading for all involved in the policy debate on sustainable production and consumption from government, business, academia and NGOs for designers, scientists, businesses and system innovators.Table of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Automobile Politics
Book SynopsisMatthew Paterson identifies the political forces that have led to the dominant role of the car in contemporary society and argues that projects to reduce the environmental impacts of cars need to deal with these forces in order to achieve their goals.Trade Review'Quite simply the definitive book on car culture and global environmental politics. Paterson convincingly explains the rise of automobility, its umbilical link to the ecological and socio-economic unsustainability of capitalist accumulation as well as outlining the powerful cultural and ideological dynamics that 'naturalise' and 'normalise' the car; while also offering strategies of resistance to the car and alternative mobility futures for car-addicted societies. Comprehensive, authoritative, scholarly and eloquently written, Paterson has set the gold standard by which other contributions to this field must be judged.' John Barry, Reader in Politics, School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy, Queen's University Belfast'Matthew Paterson brings together political and cultural theories to develop an intricate environmental analysis of the political economy of automobiles. Scholars and students of global ecological change will not want to miss the opportunity to engage with his original and provocative conclusions.' Peter Dauvergne, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Global Environmental Politics, University of British Columbia'This book is not just about cars. It is about a global economic system and a complex set of cultural practices that have produced the modern, mobile subject. With his characteristic creative flair, Matthew Paterson demonstrates that we need to understand how this peculiarly modern subject emerged before we can move beyond automobility and discover other forms of freedom and motion that revitalise both local communities and ecosystems.' Robyn Eckersley, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Melbourne'Matthew Paterson has done it again, this time with a tour de force on the automobile! As in his previous works on environment and climate change, he navigates with aplomb and clarity the endless and mystifying detours associated with motor cars, those who drive them, and the societies built around them. Paterson's navigation of the automobility system should be required reading for those concerned about technology, environment and sustainability as well as in classes on democratic politics, global political economy, and international relations.' Ronnie D. Lipschutz, Professor of Politics, University of California, Santa Cruz'This is a horrifically compelling account of why, despite the obvious need for alternatives, global development centres on the car. … anyone seeking deeper analysis of the car's dominance will not be disappointed.'

University of Massachusetts Press Street Fight: The Politics of Mobility in San
Book SynopsisFaced with intolerable congestion and noxious pollution, cities around the world are rethinking their reliance on automobiles. In the United States a loosely organised livability movement seeks to reduce car use by reconfiguring urban space into denser, transit-oriented, walkable forms, a development pattern also associated with smart growth and new urbanism. Through a detailed case study of San Francisco, Jason Henderson examines how this is not just a struggle over what type of transportation is best for the city, but a series of ideologically charged political fights over issues of street space, public policy, and social justice. Historically San Francisco has hosted many activist demonstrations over its streets, from the freeway revolts of the 1960s to the first Critical Mass bicycle rides decades later. Today the city's planning and advocacy establishment is changing zoning laws to limit the number of parking spaces, encouraging new car-free housing near transit stations, and applying transit first policies, such as restricted bus lanes. Yet Henderson warns that the city s accomplishments should not be romanticised. Despite significant gains by livability advocates, automobiles continue to dominate the streets, and the city s financially strained bus system is slow and often unreliable. Both optimistic and cautionary, Henderson argues that ideology must be understood as part of the struggle for sustainable cities and that three competing points of view progressive, neoliberal, and conservative have come to dominate the contemporary discourse about urban mobility. Consistent with its iconic role as an incubator of environmental, labour, civil rights, and peace movements, San Francisco offers a compelling example of how the debate over sustainable urban transportation may unfold both in the United States and globally.

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Graphs and Networks: Multilevel Modeling
Book SynopsisA transport network is typically a network of roads, streets, pipes, aqueducts, power lines, or nearly any structure that permits either vehicular movement or the flow of some commodity. Transport network analysis, a field of transport engineering that typically employs the use of graph theory, is used to determine the flow of vehicles, commodities, or people through these networks. It may combine different modes of transport - for example, walking and driving - to model multi-modal journeys. This edition is completely updated and contains two new chapters covering spatial analysis and urban management through graph theory simulation. Highly practical, the simulation approach allows readers to solve classic problems, such as placement of high-speed roads, the capacity of a network, pollution emission control, and more.

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Introduction to Sustainable Transports
Book SynopsisTransport systems have to meet the mobility needs of people and commodities on all scales, from the local to the global level. Concerns about the energy, fumes and sound emissions produced, and about the safety, service quality, intelligence and lifecycle of the systems, etc. can all be included in a systemic approach. This approach can contribute to the development of sustainable solutions, for individual vehicles as well as for transport systems. Derived from an approach combining the social and physical sciences, these solutions result from the integration of physical objects, services and organizational processes, which involve several actors. Their harmonious organization contributes to the development of more virtuous transport systems for the future of urban and inter-urban mobility.Table of ContentsIntroduction ix Chapter 1.
