Sustainable Transportation and Urban Sustainability

The twenty-first century is witnessing the phenomenon of the expansion of the urban fabric in large areas, accompanied by a lack of public transport services, dependence on cars, decrease in dependence on walking and cycling, and the loss of landscapes, which affected the quality of urban life, and...

description The twenty-first century is witnessing the phenomenon of the expansion of the urban fabric in large areas, accompanied by a lack of public transport services, dependence on cars, decrease in dependence on walking and cycling, and the loss of landscapes, which affected the quality of urban life, and the development has become a significant concern throughout the world. The objectives of the transport-related sustainability concept are to reduce emissions of gases and noise, reduce the consumption of natural resources, reduce levels of land exploitation, increase traffic safety, and enhance the ability to reach the required places. The research problem is represented in the knowledge gap related to explaining the role of transport in achieving urban sustainability, where the research assumes that achieving urban sustainability is through sustainable transport. Hence, the study aims to reach a theoretical framework that clarifies the indicators of sustainable transport that achieve urban sustainability. To test the hypothesis, the abstracted theoretical framework was applied to a model of an Arab city (Masdar City) and a model for a global city (Shanghai City) in China.
