Learning from the Best and Worst: Problems, Prospects and Policy Implications from Global Benchmarking of Urban Passenger Transport Sustainability in Greater Manchester and the Leicester Metropolitan …
Studies comparing and benchmarking cities on transport and planning have been undertaken for decades. The unique methodology in this paper is explained and then applied to the Greater Manchester (GM) and Leicester (LM) metropolitan areas in the UK. The data cover land use, wealth, transport infrastructure, mobility patterns, energy use and selected externalities. The paper asks: How do the Greater Manchester and Leicester Metropolitan Areas compa…
Gasoline Consumption and Cities Revisited: What Have We Learnt
This article provides a personal reflection 30 years after we created the concept of automobile dependence. The paper entitled “Gasoline Consumption and Cities: A Comparison of US Cities with a Global Survey and Its Implications” and an associated book “Cities and Automobile Dependence” stirred up transport planning, especially in the US. We examine the criticisms, this evoked at the time within the perspective of what has happened in cities sinc…

Anatomy of an Informal Transit City: Mobility Analysis of the Metropolitan Area of Lima
Lima, as the capital of Peru, has become its first megacity with more than 10 million people in an area that extends over 80 km in a North-South direction. As a city of this size, it faces complex mobility issues with a strong reliance on informal transport modes (buses, minibuses, and paratransit vehicles) due to the deterioration of its transit system quality during the 20th century. This paper examines the current urban situation in Lima throu…
Solving Traffic Congestion through Street Renaissance: A Perspective from Dense Asian Cities
Traffic congestion is one of the most vexing city problems and involves numerous factors which cannot be addressed without a holistic approach. Congestion cannot be narrowly tackled at the cost of a city’s quality of life. Focusing on transport and land use planning, this paper examines transport policies and practices on both the supply and demand sides and finds that indirect travel demand management might be the most desirable solution to this…
Urban Transport and Eco-Urbanism: A Global Comparative Study of Cities with a Special Focus on Five Larger Swedish Urban Regions
Urban transport is critical in shaping the form and function of cities, particularly the level of automobile dependence and sustainability. This paper presents a detailed study of the urban transport eco-urbanism characteristics of the Stockholm, Malmö, Göteborg, Linköping, and Helsingborg urban regions in southern Sweden. It compares these cities to those in the USA, Australia, Canada, and two large wealthy Asian cities (Singapore and Hong Kong)…
Place-Making through the Creation of Common Spaces in Lima’s Self-Built Settlements: El Ermitaño and Pampa de Cueva as Case Studies for a Regional Urbanization Strategy
Lima has become the first Peruvian megacity with more than 10 million people, resulting from the migration waves from the countryside throughout the 20th century, which have also contributed to the diverse ethnic background of today’s city. The paper analyzes two neighborhoods located in the inter-district area of Northern Lima: Pampa de Cueva and El Ermitaño as paradigmatic cases of the city’s expansion through non-formal settlements during the …
Theory of urban fabrics: Planning the walking, transit/public transport and automobile/motor car cities for reduced car dependency
The theory of urban fabrics is outlined showing how different types of cities are combinations of walking, transit/public transport and automobile/motor car fabrics based on their transport systems and the universal travel-time budget. The distances/transport speeds that generate these urban fabrics and their associated elements, functions and qualities are outlined, emphasising, for the first time, how tasks of statutory planning and transport p…
The End of Automobile Dependence: How Cities Are Moving Beyond Car-Based Planning
In this publication, Newman and Kenworthy look at how we can accelerate a planning approach to designing urban environments that can function reliably and conveniently on alternative modes. They consi

Dimensions of urban mobility cultures – a comparison of German cities
Urban Planning and Transport Paradigm Shifts for Cities of the Post-Petroleum Age
Urban transportation systems are very dependent on oil, and thus vulnerable to potential shortages and price increases. This paper examines data on 58 cities in developed countries and 26 cities in developing countries in order to explore the range of urban transportation and land-use patterns in the world today, understand the resulting transportation energy consumption patterns, and isolate the key factors that underpin these patterns. The find…
In a City Like Delhi
This paper is intended to be provocative as a way of exposing any fatal flaws in its logic. It advocates a pragmatic foundational role for spirituality upon which sustainable development can be built. It goes on to assert the importance of articulating spiritual dimensions of urban communities as integral to the spiritual and general sustainability of cities. The paper
The eco-city: Ten key transport and planning dimensions for sustainable city development
Making existing cities and new urban development more ecologically based and liveable is an urgent priority in the global push for sustainability. This paper discusses ten critical responses to this issue and summarizes them in a simple conceptual model that places the nexus between transport and urban form at the heart of developing an eco-city. This involves compact, mixed-use urban form, well-defined higher-density, human-oriented centres, pri…

Gasoline Consumption and Cities: A Comparison of U.S. Cities with a Global Survey
Gasoline consumption per capita in ten large United States cities varies by up to 40 percent, primarily because of land use and transportation planning factors, rather than price or income variations. The same patterns, though more extreme, appear in a global sample of 32 cities. Here, average gasoline consumption in U.S. cities was nearly twice as high as in Australian cities, four times higher than in European cities and ten times higher than i…
