TRANSPLUS - TRANSport Planning, Land Use and Sustainability
Overview
Background & policy context:
Transplus is an EC supported project under the 'City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage' key action, which is one of the four key actions under the European Commission's Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development research programme. This key action aims to address challenges of urban air quality, noise, traffic congestion, waste, economic competitiveness, employment, security, infrastructure and the built environment.
Objectives:
The mission of TRANSPLUS was to identify best practices in the organisation of land use and transport (LUT) policies in order to achieve a sustainable pattern of transport and land use in European cities and regions, promoting economic, social and environmental improvement.
Methodology:
The project's methodology incorporated the development of a framework for the analysis of Land-Use and Transport Case Studies in Europe, and identification of a list of Case Studies that illustrate not only best practice, but also the valuable experiences of real-life planning initiatives. This has involved the analysis of trends in land-use and transport planning, and an assessment of future trends.
