The
issues relating to climate change have risen dramatically to the top of
the national political agenda, and the importance of transport in
contributing to reduced levels of CO2 is clearly evident. The building
of sustainable communities consistent with reducing climate change
impacts and minimising carbon dioxide emissions poses serious
difficulties for practitioners. This project aims to quantify the
carbon efficiency of the current transport strategy (The Mayor's
Transport Strategy and T2025) in London and contribute to the
development of a strategy for a 60% reduction in transport emissions by
2025 and 2050. The study will feed directly into the review of the
Mayor's Transport Strategy and Climate Change Action plan, and build on
the strategy of T2025.
The project aims to develop the work carried out at the national UK and EU level on this topic, but with a specific London focus. The UK VIBAT project (Visioning and Backcasting for UK Transport Policy) was authored by Robin Hickman (Halcrow) and Professor David Banister (Oxford University) and commissioned by the Department for Transport in 2004/06.
The objectives of this project are to develop the backcasting approach to transport planning in London from now until 2025 and 2050. Key study stages include:
