  • Traffic and Transportation for Sustainable Environment, Mobility and Access
    ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMISSION FOR ASIA AND THE PACIFIC TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION FOR SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT, MOBILITY AND ACCESS Application of a Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Policy Development in the Rattanakosin Area of Bangkok Executed in cooperation with Bangkok Metropolitan Administration UNITED NATIONS New York, 2001 This study was undertaken with the assistance of The Royal Netherlands Government ST/ESCAP/2171 ESCAP WORKS TOWRDS REDUCING POVERTY AND MANAGING GLOBALIZATION The views, conclusions and recommendations presented in this publication are those of the stakeholders who participated in the policy development process and of the study team, and may not be considered to represent the official views of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, the Secretariat of the United Nations or the Royal Netherlands Government. Mention of firm names and commercial products does not imply the endorsement of the United Nations The publication has been issued without formal editing. ii Preface It is now recognized that transport policies and plans produced through the traditional top-down approach tend to over-emphasize the supply-side traffic engineering solutions, while ignoring the importance and cost effectiveness of demand management and other approaches which are more participatory in nature. There have been numerous studies on the well-known traffic and transportation problems of Bangkok. Some of them were quite comprehensive in nature and others more focussed on some specific problems. However, all of them had something in common – they were based on the traditional top-down approach and the proposed solutions reflected largely professional points of view. The policy prescriptions of these studies lacked general public support and authorities failed to implement many of the crucial “hard” choices.

  • Developing Africa: Toward Customer Oriented Urban Transport Policy
    Developing Africa: Toward Customer Oriented Urban Transport Policy By Wendell Cox Demographia, St. Louis-Missouri/Illinois Metropolitan Area (USA) www.demographia.com Paper presented to CODATU XV Congress African Union Headquarters Addis Abeba, Ethiopia 23 October 2012 Keywords: Sub-Saharan Africa, cities, urban access, informal transport, mass transit, automobiles, 2- wheelers, poverty SUMMARY Poverty eradication was identified in the recent Rio +20 conference as an “indispensible requirement” for sustainability.”1 Developing Africa's poverty is intense and the cities, which are capturing most population growth remain generally poorer than in other parts of the world. Economic research indicates that better urban access (mobility) facilitates economic growth. Because of this relationship, this paper suggests a policy approach to urban transport in Africa that would focus on maximizing spatial access in the urban area. It is thus proposed that improving household affluence, including the eradication of poverty, may be the most important policy objective of urban transport (collective and individual). The proposed economic policy focus contrasts with emphasis on regulatory systems or travel modes. The perspective is that the means of urban transport (both regulatory systems and travel modes) may be best derived from strategies that maximize urban access, toward the end of improving household affluence. Because of the present and expanding spatial geographies of African cities, the limitation of mode choice to walking for many low income households would seem to be a significant barrier to improved household affluence and poverty eradication. Much of the international research is unfavorable toward the existing and largely informal mass transit systems in developing Africa.
