Abstract
This report presents findings of a study that investigated the links between land use and urban transport planning. There is an increasing awareness among professionals that a lack of integrated land use and transport planning has led to unsustainable increases in journeys by private car. This, in turn, is causing congestion-related delays, higher costs, poorer air quality, and more health problems. The report describes the principal causes of these problems by setting out their historical context. This theme is then developed by identifying innovative policies designed to address the problems. A range of instruments adopted by various national authorities is set out. Finally, key principles and necessary elements of sustainable land use and transport planning regimes are drawn together. Appendixes list 19 case studies from around the world and a database that, along with basic statistical information, shows how different cities have ranked the importance of their diverse problems.
