Sustainable Urban Structure and Transport Policy in the Metropolitan Region
Abstract This chapter discusses the needs and requirements of a sustainable urban structure as a tool in order to provide sustainable mobility in a metropolitan region. First, the objectives and effective tolls of a sustainable transport strategy are discussed. As an objective, sustainable mobility is defined to satisfy the balance among different policy objectives. As an effective tool of transport planning, a sustainable urban structure is needed to reduce travel needs with a supportive legal framework. In particular, to satisfy the social dimension of sustainable mobility, a sustainable urban structure is needed to alleviate social exclusion and the mobility gap between people who can use cars and those who cannot. Second, the essential elements of a sustainable urban structure are discussed. In a metropolitan region, high-density development is needed to accommodate a high concentration of activities. Also, a hierarchal center structure with a public transport axis can be observed in many proposals such as the Finger Plan (Copenhagen), 2040 Growth Concept (Portland), and “Dango to Kushi” (Toyama). Some of them have already shown success in providing sustainable mobility. Finally, it is recommended to use mobility management for mobility choice and space–time accessibility analysis of major activity centers to support a sustainable urban structure.
