• “As the share of the world’s population living in cities grows
to nearly 70 percent by 2050 and energy consumption for
transport in cities is expected to double, the need for efficient,
affordable, safe and high-capacity transport solutions will become
more acute,”
IEA Executive Director Maria van der
Hoeven
ENERGY and TRANSPORT
• critical steps to improve the efficiency of urban transport
systems are needed not only for energy security reasons, but also to:
1 .mitigate the numerous negative
climate,
2. noise,
3. air pollution,
4.congestion and economic impacts of
rising urban transport volumes

• It was thirty years ago that limitations on the use of the private motor car must be imposed in order to safeguard the local environment from :
– noxious fumes,
– noise and visual degradation
– to reducing the stress being placed on the climate by greenhouse gases.

• The city’s transportation system cannot be solved by building more roadsbecause such a formula will not in the end solve the problem.
ROAD TRAFFIC AND POLLUTION

• The need for city’s movement relying on greater use of :
• Public transport,
• cycling and
• walking (for any necessary mobility)

• (1) To ensure that an effective transport policy at
all levels of government is integrated with land use
policy and gives priority to minimizing the need for
transport and increasing the proportion of trips by environmentally less
damaging modes.
• (2) To achieve standards of air quality that will prevent
damage to human health and the environment.

• (3) To improve the quality of life, particularly in towns and cities, by reducing the
dominance of cars and lorries and providing alternative means of
access.
• (4) To increase the proportions of personal
travel and freight transport by environmentally less
damaging modes and to make the best use of
existing infrastructure.

• (5) To halt the loss of land to transport
infrastructure in areas of conservation, cultural,
scenic or amenity value, unless the use of land for
that purpose has been shown to be the best
practicable environmental option.
• (6) To reduce carbon dioxide emissions from
transport.

• (7) To reducesubstantially the demands which
transport infrastructure and
the vehicle industry place on non-
renewable materials.
• (8) To reduce noise nuisance from
transport.
