Interdisciplinary Approaches to Transportation and Urban Planning
Interdisciplinary approaches to transportation and urban planning are vital when addressing the challenges of modern cities. As urban populations increase and environmental concerns rise, traditional methods of planning often fall short. By integrating insights from diverse fields like sociology, environmental science, engineering, and economics, planners can develop better solutions for increased sustainability, equity, and efficiency. This collaboration may enhance transportation system designs while fostering vibrant urban environments. Embracing an interdisciplinary approach is necessary to allow innovative strategies responding to emerging social, economic, and environmental factors. In...
Sustainable Urbanization
The rapid urbanization that began with industrialization has begun to cause many problems. New approaches are emerging today to minimize these problems and make urban areas more livable. These problems include insufficient social facilities in urban areas for increasing populations due to migration and unbalanced use of green areas, water, and energy resources due to urbanization. Careless consumption and the pollution of natural resources will cause people many more problems in the future than they do today in urban development. Many professional disciplines have noticed this unbalanced development in urban areas. Urban areas have larger populations than rural areas today. Urban areas are developed neglectfully. Sustainability is needed as a criterion for urban areas to develop in a more livable and healthy fashion. Sustainable urban development approaches are seen in many fields, ranging from land use to the use of natural resources in urban areas.
Computer-based Modelling and Optimization in Transportation
This volume brings together works resulting from research carried out by members of the EURO Working Group on Transportation (EWGT) and presented during meetings and workshops organized by the Group under the patronage of the Association of European Operational Research Societies in 2012 and 2013. The main targets of the EWGT include providing a forum to share research information and experience, encouraging joint research and the development of both theoretical methods and applications, and promoting cooperation among the many institutions and organizations which are leaders at national level in the field of transportation and logistics. The primary fields of interest concern operational re...
From Mobility to Accessibility
Levine, Grengs, and Merlin marshal a compelling case to shift to accessibility-oriented planning, providing much needed conceptual clarity as to what accessibility is and is not. But their book also represents a major step toward transforming accessibility from a vaguely defined aspiration into concrete measures that can guide planning decisions. ― Journal of the American Planning Association In From Mobility to Accessibility, an expert team of researchers flips the tables on the standard models for evaluating regional transportation performance. Jonathan Levine, Joe Grengs, and Louis A. Merlin argue for an "accessibility shift" whereby transportation planning, and the transportation dimen...
Chaos, Complexity, and Sustainability in Management
In today's rapidly evolving world, traditional management approaches often fail to address the complexities of modern challenges. Decision-makers frequently encounter unpredictable environments where Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) reign; this poses a significant obstacle to achieving sustainable outcomes and can lead to ineffective decision-making. By presenting cutting-edge research and theoretical frameworks, Chaos, Complexity, and Sustainability in Management equips seasoned professionals, researchers, and students with the tools to navigate the complexities of adaptive systems and make informed decisions in a VUCA world. It delves into decision-making in strenuous environments, systems thinking, and sustainable management practices, providing practical insights and strategies for addressing these challenges. Through a comprehensive exploration of these concepts, readers will understand how to thrive in turbulent times.
