Abstract
In this paper authors discuss contingencies surrounding the rapid increase in motorization found China as a combined result of a large, rapidly urbanizing population. Authors note that, while it took 50 years for the city of Beijing to have one million vehicles on its roadways, it took only six and a half subsequent years to gain another million and, in the last four years, the city has now reached a total of three million vehicles. It is noted that such a rapid expansion affects a great number of issues that should be considered by the country’s transportation policies. These issues include traffic congestion, energy problems, and air and water pollution. Policy recommendations put forward take into account proper transportation policy evolution, the construction of railways, an adequate transportation demand management (TDM) policy, and an adequate parking policy.
