Originally published in 1995, this monograph examines a developmental approach to urban transport planning, with reference to Indonesia. It provides a profile of the country, outlining Indonesia’s geography and population, historical and political background, economic profile and constraints on development. Recent trends in Indonesian development are outlined. Indonesian urban transport demand and supply are analysed, and policy and planning frameworks for urban transport set out, including national policy and financial and institutional issues. Factors affecting urban transport are considered such as settlement characteristics and matching of transport systems with settlement hierarchy. The applicability of a developmental approach to urban transport planning for Indonesia is analysed with reference to experience in industrialized nations and the Third World.

Many urban and transportation problems, such as traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and environmental burdens, result from poor integration of land use and transportation. This graduate-level textbook outlines strategies for sustainably integrating land use and transportation planning, addressing the impact on land use of advanced transport like light rail transit and autonomous cars, and the emerging focus on cyber space and the role of ICT and big data in city planning. The text also explores how we can create sustainable cities for the future. In contrast to the "compact city", which has been proposed as an environmentally friendly urban model, recent years have seen an acceleration in the introduction of ICT-based "smart city". As people’s lives are drastically changed by COVID-19, a new form of city is being explored. The new concept of a "smart sharing city" is introduced as an urban model that wisely integrates physical and cyber space, and presents a way to solve future urban issues with new technologies.
