Greening passenger transport: a review

“…Therefore, an absolute reduction in natural resource use is required. In this context, transport is a highly relevant field because it is responsible, for instance, for nearly a quarter of global primary energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (Moriarty & Honnery, 2013).…”

“…If GHG emission targets are set, it is most unlikely that technical solutions will be sufficient to achieve that objective (Moriarty and Honnery, 2013). For the area of environmental sensitivities of distribution networks, Gross et al (2012), Harris et al (2011), Kellner and Igl (2012), Kohn and Brodin (2008), McKinnon and Woodburn (1994), Rizet et al (2010), and Treitl and Jammernegg (2014) investigated the effect of different network design parameters on GHG emissions from distribution.…”

“…This will apply both to the long-established cities and to the rapidly expanding cities such as in Asia, the Middle East and Africa (Moriarty & Honnery, 2013). A key component of this will be reduced CO2 emissions from urban transport, which is currently dominated by private cars using fossil fuels.…”

Limiting global warming to 1.5°C will require rapid decarbonisation of the world's electricity and transport systems. This must occur against a background of continuing urbanisation and the shift to the information economy. While replacement of fossil fuels in electricity generation is underway, urban transport is currently dominated by petrol and diesel-powered vehicles. The City of the Future will need to be built around a different transport and urban paradigm. This article argues that the new model will be a polycentric city linked by fast electric rail, with local access based on autonomous "community"-owned electric cars and buses supplemented by bicycles, electric bikes and scooters, with all electricity generated from renewables. Less space will be wasted on roads and parking, enabling higher accessibility yet more usable public open space. Building the cities of the future will require national governments to accelerate local initiatives through appropriate policy settings and strategic investment. The precise way in which individual cities move into the future will vary, and the article illustrates how the transformation could work for Australian cities, like Sydney, currently some of the most car dependent in the world, using new financial and city partnerships.
