Systematic and Behavior-Oriented Approaches for Sustainable Urban and Transport Policies
To realize a sustainable urban and transportation society, good governance is required. This should be supported by systematic and scientific approaches that can generate informative indicators of factors such as policy evaluation, decision making, implementation, and monitoring. Urban and transportation systems are complex, and managing them needs interdisciplinary knowledge. Accordingly, this chapter argues for the importance of developing integrated urban and transportation models, and implementing interdisciplinary behavioral studies. The key point is to represent changes in the system and citizens’ life behavior with regard to quality of life, environmental capacity and social equity. Both backcasting (top-down) and forecasting (bottom-up) approaches should be utilized, with sustainability transition emphasized as part of an interactive planning and policy-making scheme. Finally, context-sensitive urban designs should be promoted.
