This book delves into the complex landscape of autonomous urban mobility, analysing the factors that influence public adoption, stakeholder perspectives, and societal perceptions in this rapidly evolving field. Aimed at scholars, policymakers, urban planners, and industry professionals, the book offers a thorough exploration of the key elements driving the integration of autonomous vehicles in urban settings. Drawing on empirical evidence from diverse case studies, it first investigates public awareness, emphasising the roles of knowledge, exposure, and media in shaping perceptions of autonomous vehicles, and underscores the critical need for targeted awareness campaigns. Subsequent chapters examine pre-trial attitudes towards autonomous shuttles, demonstrating how initial experiences significantly impact adoption willingness, and advocate for pilot programs to cultivate informed, positive perceptions.The book also explores the potential of smart mobility solutions to bridge first/last mile gaps, presenting data on how autonomous vehicles can improve urban transport efficiency and accessibility. By analysing socio-demographic predictors, it highlights varying perceptions of the benefits and challenges of autonomous demand-responsive transit, underscoring the importance of tailored strategies for diverse urban populations. Stakeholder perspectives, gathered through interviews and case studies, offer practical recommendations for overcoming technological, regulatory, and societal hurdles. Comparative insights from international case studies broaden the understanding of local factors influencing autonomous vehicle acceptance, while advanced modelling techniques identify the key drivers of driverless car adoption. Finally, the book explores the transformative potential of autonomous vehicles in developing countries, offering visionary insights into their capacity to reshape urban landscapes.With its data-rich content and forward-thinking analysis, this book is an indispensable guide to the future of urban transportation and the critical role of autonomous mobility.This volume, alongside its companion, Autonomous Urban Mobility: Understanding Innovation Principles, Priorities, Policies, offers a holistic view of Autonomous Urban Mobility.

The Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Urban Transport offers a state of the art, comprehensive overview of sustainable transportation modes, impacts, technologies and policy. Over time, the economic benefits of transport have been overshadowed by negative externalities on the environment, public health and communities. Today, transport is one of the major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and with the growth in the number and size of cities, urban transport will be a critical infrastructure to develop sustainably.Sustainable urban transport poses a key topic of debate for politicians, the public and transport providers worldwide, as legacy vehicle technologies, power sources, infrastructure and habitual human travel behaviours render the decarbonisation of local and global transport systems inherently challenging. Featuring contributions from world-leading, international scholars, the chapters examine concepts, issues and ideas across five topic areas that reflect the increasingly diverse nature of current research and thinking in sustainable urban transport: key features, impacts of transport in cities, urban transport modes, energy and innovative technologies, policy issues and instruments. Each chapter provides an overview of current knowledge, identifies issues, discusses the relevant debates in sustainable urban transport and seeks to put forward a future research agenda in the field. This handbook offers a single repository on the current state of knowledge, written from a practical perspective, utilising theory that is applied and developed using real-world examples.The handbook is an essential reference for researchers, academics and students working in all areas of sustainable transportation, from policy and planning to technology, in addition to industry practitioners looking to develop their professional knowledge.

In The Shoup Doctrine: Essays Celebrating Donald Shoup and Parking Reforms, edited by Daniel Baldwin Hess, forty city planners, economists, journalists, and parking professionals analyze three major parking reforms proposed by Donald Shoup, a Distinguished Research Professor of Urban Planning at UCLA. First, remove off-street parking requirements. Second, use market prices to manage on-street parking. Third, spend the parking meter revenue to fund added public services on metered blocks. These parking reforms can align individual incentives with collective objectives and produce enormous benefits at low or no cost. All these benefits will result from subsidizing people, not parking. Shifting the cost of parking to the parkers will make cities more expensive for cars and more livable for people.Shoup has spent his career encouraging everyone to rethink relationships between parking and the built environment, traffic congestion, energy consumption, and local economic development. This book celebrates Shoup's decades-long contributions to research, practice, and education, and demonstrates how his ideas about how parking reform can support affordable housing development, lessen air pollution, and reduce automobile dependency.This book will be of interest to urban planners, developers, elected officials, students, and citizen-advocates who are passionate about reducing automobile dependency and creating more sustainable and vital cities.

Urban planning practice in Sub-Saharan Africa increasingly encounters complexities due to the confluence of urbanisation, climate change, and their interconnected drivers and consequences. The potential effect of these complexities on achieving the sustainable development goals is significant. This book explores the unique challenges faced by rapidly growing cities in Sub-Saharan Africa, including urban crime, informality, land governance, development control, and the degradation of green spaces, as well as how these issues are addressed in planning education and emerging innovations. The book presents various case studies from selected African countries, emphasising contemporary urban challenges and innovative strategies, including implementing artificial intelligence, which is being adopted to tackle these issues. Chapters analyse the significance of reflective planning, hybrid governance, international development, and technological advancements in influencing the future trajectory of urban development planning.By providing a comprehensive overview of these issues, this book serves as a crucial resource for urban planners, policymakers, scholars, and students dedicated to the sustainable development of cities in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The current climate crisis and the rapid transformation of the natural environments will inevitably pose a threat to human settlements around the world. This book explores possible local strategies and global solutions in the safeguarding of coastal cities and the often-neglected urban waterfronts, in terms of a more effective integration with the city, whilst paying attention to the mitigation of the risks related to climate change.Designers, administrators and engineers need to start developing various scenarios and possible solutions to tackle the inevitable transformation which is currently unfolding. This edited book contains essays which discuss several themes related to the effects of climate change on waterfronts, looking at Japan's experience and other international case studies. Collectively, they provide a multi-faceted analysis of selected projects and relevant urban experiences and practices which address issues such as the environmental disruption and the need for more efficient and sustainable forms of regeneration and urban renewal practice for the waterfronts.The volume will appeal architects, planners, geographers, and general readers with an interest in landscape design and social science in an international context, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in the disciplines of built environment.
