[sustran] Re: International Comparisons - Help Please!

[sutp]

Dear Alan,

 

This might be a good source with some interesting figures (checking a trend
of various cities from 1960-1990) in a recent paper: 

 

Fujiwara A. and J. Zhang (1995), Evaluating Sustainability of Urban
Development in Developing Countries incorporating Dynamic Cause-Effect
Relationships over Time, Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for
Transportation Studies, Vol. 6, pp. 4349-4364.

Good luck to you.

 

Best Regards,

Thirayoot

Subject: [sustran] International Comparisons - Help Please!

 

I have just discovered that I have a presentation to make in not much more
than 24 hours, to an audience of Mumbai decision-formers.  Working title -
""Urban transport - learning from the mistakes of others".  It's stretching
my core specialisation a bit (Public Transport / Buses), and as I am in
Mumbai I don't have access to reference sources back in the office (which
are pretty UK-oriented anyway).

 

So I am looking for some (on-line) data on international transport
comparisons - preferably urban rather than rural.  Things like - 

- Cars owned per head

- Car USAGE per head

- %age urban area devoted to roads

- pollution levels / greenhouse gas emissions

- Modal share data

 

Trend data would be useful too.

 

It may well be that a lot of what I am looking for is in the UITP's
Millennium Cities Database - but the problem is it is not available on-line,
and the summary data I have from it is back at the ranch (and possibly
corrupted).

 

I am currently looking at Todd Litman's VTPI page "Why Manage Transportation
Demand?" http://www.vtpi.org/tdm/tdm51.htm , which has plenty of appropriate
words but not many numbers - it has plenty of links though, some of which
may well be useful.  And I will also look at SUTP.  But if anyone can give
me a more precise steer, I would be most grateful.
