China’s urban transport. Challenges and policy issues

Summary/Abstract: Problems resulting from increasing motorisation in urban areas are known all over the world. Different solutions have been developed in order to meet challenges connected with air pollution, congestion, accidents and other external costs of transport. Rapid socio-economic development in China, accompanied by brisk and uncontrolled urbanisation, strongly influences urban transport systems. This paper is aimed at presenting some current and potential challenges appearing due to changes in urban transport systems in China resulting from rapid socio-economic development, as well as some selected, country-specific solutions aimed at achieving a more sustainable path of development of urban transport.
