Integrated Spatial Development
and Transport Strategies: London and Global Lessons
Camilla Weenwww.goldsteinween.comOCTOBER 06 2015
What I will cover:
• The need to change• What to aim for• How policy can deliver change• Good examples of urban
change
The need for changeGlobal population increaseRural to urban shiftBigger cities - Increase in car use
The need for changeDo we want our cities to look like this?
The need for change
3 reasons - Why EcoMobility is important - Why we need to suppress car use1. Congestion Economy
2. Poor Air quality Health
3. CO2 Climate Change
The need for changeCongestionEconomic cost of congestion
UK: 2013 - £4.2 Bn 2030 - £21.4 Bn (Cummulative cost = £300 Bn +) London: 96 hours a year in gridlock
USA: Av 25 days p.a. in cars
Av South African: 3.5 d/pa in congestion
The need for changeHealth Air Quality & Noise • Impact on physical and mental wellbeing• Quality of life, stress, alienation• 7M globally die from effects of poor air quality• Traffic injuries: Toronto 1 traffic injury every 3 hoursBUTClosure of Highway 405 in LA resulted 83% improvement in air quality
The need for change
Climate change
Increase in ‘Green House Gases’Impact on climate change
(Transport = 1/3 of CO2 emissions)
Developing countries: 90% air pollution is from vehicle emissions
The need for changeClimate change

“There’s no major city in the world that has solved the issue of mobility through the private car…. None.”
GIL PENALOSAChair of 8-80 Cities Former Commissioner of Parks, Sport and Recreation - Bogotá
What to aim for• Good public transport• Smart travel choices • Efficient use of highway space• Increased cycling• Increased walkingKey objectives:- Integrated transport systems - Innovative solutions- Liveable cities- Democratic urban space- High quality public realm
Highways are finite spaceWho are the essential users?

?
Highways are finite spaceWho are the essential users? TRUCKS – BUT….
What to aim for
• We need to rationalise freight movement• No more empty trucks in the city• Clean up freight vehicles• Reduce noise• Control size of vehicles in city centres
What to aim forEfficient use of highway space
What to aim forEssential users:Walkers Cyclists Families Buggy users Wheelchair users
What to aim for
Make Cycling an ordinary activity
What to aim for Integrated Public Transport solutions

What to aim forHigh quality public realm
Walking is part of the public transport network
How POLICY can deliver changeIntegrated transport + spatial development strategies• Policies for: - Transport - Walking - Cycling• Environments that promote ecomobility• Liveable city / public realm / democratic space
How POLICY can deliver change Spatial Development PolicyFuture planning for London:
• Transport and land use integrated • Understanding transport capacity / travel
demand• Long-term strategies: 25 + 50 years• Funding certainty
How POLICY can deliver change Congestion ChargingLondon Congestion Charge
How POLICY can deliver change Congestion ChargingLondon Congestion Charge 2003:
Benefits first year: • 21 % Traffic reduction• 30% Congestion reduction in first year • 43 % increase in cycling within zone• Reduction in Accidents• Reduction in key traffic pollutants
How POLICY can deliver change
• Integrated transport and urban realm• Extra funding raised by demonstrating the
opportunity
Urban realm around PT interchanges
How POLICY can deliver changeWalking
Legible LondonA wide range of tools to assist wayfinding
Walking is part of the transport network
How POLICY can deliver change
Smart technologies
London Oyster Card
- Integrated ticketing- Seemless journeys- Cashless travel
(+Provides vital travel data)
How POLICY can deliver change
Cycling policyLondon Cycle Hire: 42.5 m trips since 2010
Also need to include cycle parking
How POLICY can deliver change Cycling policy• Traffic control infrastructure• Cycle lanes• Cycle parking
How POLICY can deliver changeFreight• Reduce freight miles• Logistics + consolidation• Freight hubs• Low emission zones
London key freight flows
How POLICY can deliver change
SUBSIDY
• Public transport needs subsidy• No comprehensive PT system pays for itself
Good examples of urban change
Copenhagen
Removing barriersMaking cycling easier
Good examples of urban change Removing barriersProviding connectivity increases walking
London Millennium Bridge
Good examples of urban change Removing barriersSustainable public space around PT interchanges
LondonOxford Circus
Good examples of urban change
Streets for people
Good examples of urban changeCombrehensive urban solutions Reallocation of Road Space
Shanghai

Good examples of urban change Combrehensive urban solutions Reallocation of Road Space
Seoul - Exposing the river
“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said:faster horses”
Henry Ford
We don’t need the faster horses…..We need space for walking
We don’t need the faster horses…..We need space to be in
We don’t need the faster horses… We need space for cycling
THANK YOU
Ecomobility = Mobilty Change2....
