B. Aménagement urbain et transports
| 26 octobre 2007 | |
| Dans un contexte d'urbanisation rapide, une planification intégrée et des stratégies novatrices de « croissance intelligente » peuvent permettre d’atténuer la congestion routière, réduire la pollution de l'air et de l'eau et rendre les villes plus vivables et durables. Par ailleurs, de telles initiatives à l'échelle locale peuvent contribuer significativement à la lutte mondiale contre les changements climatiques. |

A sustainable development strategy calls for planning urban structures which reduce overall travel demand and place greater reliance on public transport instead of structures that promote greater dependence on personal vehicles and rapid motorization. Unfortunately, due to inadequate appreciation of sustainability concerns and poor planning Indian cities have grown into urban sprawls and have been caught in the vicious cycle of motorization - more personal vehicles , more roads and more vehicles. .With rapid and poorly planned urbanization there has been an exponential growth in personal vehicles in Indian cities with serious implications for energy security and green house gas emissions. There is now an increasing awareness in India of the interaction between urban planning and transport systems ; there is also the recognition that urban planning should extend beyond land use planning to encompass traffic demand and supply management aimed at reducing the growth in energy consumption and green house gas emissions. Recent policy iniatives which take into account the implications of unfettered motorization on energy and environment , and programmes that seek to build capacity in Indian cities to plan better should help to make urban transport sustainable and Indian cities livable. |
