Edinburgh's Sustainable Transport Strategy Sets New Standard for Urban Development
The City of Edinburgh in Scotland implemented a sustainable transport strategy to reduce travel demand and improve urban development. Lessons learned include the importance of planning for mixed-use areas, reallocating road space for public benefit, and prioritizing infrastructure projects based on resources and transport needs. The city opted for a busway over a metro to connect its center to the airport and suburbs. This approach aims to create a more efficient and sustainable transport system for the community as a whole.
