Studies on transportation-oriented city planning and urban transportation systems

 

Over the years, the Nikken Group has provided consulting services on urban transportation policies to a number of local governments. The development of optimal road and public transportation networks (comprehensive urban transportation systems) in cities is required to smoothly transport people and goods to all parts of an area.

However, city centers must have vibrant transportation spaces that form the face of the city. In recent years, in particular, road spaces are being reallocated from vehicles and prioritized for people, and the influx of cars into city centers is expected to be controlled through the use of parking lots in distant locations. Eyes are also on the effective introduction of Traffic Demand Management (TDM) and advanced technologies, such as ICT and ITS. In addition, recent technological innovations have increased the potential for transportation measures that have long been considered difficult to implement, such as road pricing.

NSRI proposes transportation-oriented city planning policies that will help create sustainable cities with the use of advanced technologies based on comprehensive urban transportation systems.
