Sylvia Y. He – författare

In this comprehensive Handbook, Sylvia He brings together an array of leading experts to discuss key research areas and themes prevalent in the study of the transport sector in Asia, including urbanisation, mobility and accessibility, land use planning, low-carbon technologies, the application of big data and the challenges of creating sustainable and inclusive transport systems.Chapters cover the diverse range of transport modes across Asia and consider travel behaviour within the context of different transport networks and mobility services. Authors discuss planning and design interventions in the transport sector, including policies to overcome car-dependency and increase sustainable urban transport. Drawing attention to broader transport issues in Asia, they examine urban form, development and financing constraints, infrastructure disparities, and socioeconomic and demographic structures that influence access to transport resources for different user groups. The authors also consider areas of future research such as low-carbon transport, emerging technology and smart cities, which aim to make transport systems more just and equitable.This is an essential read for students, researchers and scholars of urban planning, geography, public policy, urban studies and transport, particularly those focusing their studies on Asia. Transport and mobility policymakers will additionally find the insights beneficial.
