In this chapter, the editors compose a sense of the new directions and intensified efforts that have been generated throughout this book. The authors conclude that new globalism with participation of new intercommunication and new strong actors within the developing world (Brazil, Russia, India and China) is moving toward a collaborative perspective on global warming and environment through more holistic thinking about global transport. The new thinking entails new roles for the socially responsible use of motor vehicles and expanded roles for public transport. The new perspective recognizes the desperate need for continued and sustained growth of economic development with an increased deliberate focus on poverty. Perhaps, most of all actionable needs within the scope of this book, the need is not so much for improved techniques of design and planning as it is for improved decision-making and project implementation, and creating a capability of garnering agreement on innovations and concrete actions rather than yielding to continual indecision; all this by creating institutionally sustainable capability for planning and acting on urban transport. |
