The book deals with urban transportation planning in light of environmental sustainability and social equity. It begins with a review of the Indian urban transportation system and the issues surrounding it; and discusses the alternatives and policy directions that are being considered. It examines all the environmental issues arising out of transportation as a sector and assesses the alternatives that can be considered to improve sustainability. Further; the book not only analyses transportation modes that cater to the travel needs of the poor; so as to make them more socially equitable; but also explores measures to promote them using a multi-criteria and multi-stakeholder approach. It addresses the barriers that are bottlenecks for the implementation of cleaner fuels and modes of transport and presents an incremental approach to tackle environmental concerns; including climate change; when planning transportation in the long term. Finally; it presents the dilemma of city administrators in choosing between strategies aimed at local pollution control and those aimed at limiting global emissions. This unique book provides a comprehensive overview of ldquo;sustainable transportation.rdquo; It discusses all the important elements that are essential to transportation planners and policy makers when planning a cityrsquo;s transportation. Theoretical presentations augmented by case-specific research work and the methodology used in some of the modules; make it a valuable resource for researchers working at the forefront of this area.

It is full of beautiful arrangements that are easy enough to master with relative ease; but difficult enough to sound polished and refreshing. This is a book that I use for preludes and offertories during the weeks that I am practicing the more difficult Labenske arrangements in some of his more challenging collections.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
