The sustainable transport pathway: a holistic strategy of five transformations (Loo, Tsoi) Flashcards
what is the five transformation concept?
involves radical and proactive policy-making, recognizing that one-size-fits-all policies may not work, and understanding that a sustainable transport strategy should encompass various aspects of people’s daily lives.
the goals is to decouple transport intensity from economic growth and undesirable impacts from transport production while changing composition of transport volume to promote dematerialization
what are the five transformations?
- city transformation
- economic transformation
- vehicle transformation
- modal-split transformation
- lifestyle transformation
Five transformations: city transformation
From national to individual:
- increasing land-use diversity and development density
- Promoting transit-oriented development
- tailoring TOD to local context
- making short distance daily trips
Five transformations: Economic
aims to mitigate negative externalities. two strategies:
1. countries should shift towards high-value-added industries, reducing transport volume and negative externalities per unit of income.
2. sustainable freight logistics network covering port-inland distribution
intermodalism: enhances transport efficiency and reduces externalities by encouraging modal shifts from trucks to railways or pipelines
Five transformations: Vehicle
- Development of low-carbon and zero-carbon vehicles
- alternative energy sources
- enhancing fuel efficiency
- advanced vehicle manufacturing
- autonomous and connected vehicles
Five transformations: modal split
aims to encourage the use of public transport and limit the growth of car use
1. enhancing public transit ridership
2. enhancing multi-modal connectivity (should encourage seamless travel between various transit locations and destinations)
Five transformations: lifestyle
- Education for sustainability
- promoting healthy lifestyles
- people-centered approach
- consider socio-demographic factors
3Ds
Diversity, density, design
Key points of land use planning in the five transformation
- land use planning and TOD/walkability
- Land use planning and sustainable freight transport
- land use planning and advanced vehicle technologies
- land use planning and multi-modal connectivity
- land use planning and travel behavior
