“…Concentrated commercial development has also channeled trips from residences beyond BRT terminuses to the trinary corridors. In 2009, for example, 78.4% of trips boarding at the terminus of Curitiba's north-south trinary corridor were destined to a bus stop on the same corridor (Duarte and Ultramari 2012). Today, Curitiba's share of motorized trips by transit (45%) is the highest in Latin America (Santos, 2011).…”

“…Most social housing built in the last 40 years for Curitiba's poor has been far from main transit axes and transport corridors (Duarte and Ultramari, 2012). The availability of cheaper land and laxer environmental regulations on floodplain development prompted Curitiba's authorities to put the most disadvantaged households in the least transit-accessible locations.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThe urban transportation sector's environmental, economic, and social footprint is immense and expanding. Many of the world's most vexing and pressing problems -fossil fuel dependency, global warming, poverty, and social exclusion -are inextricably tied to the transportation sector. Much of the blame for the transportation sector's inordinate environmental footprint lies in the increasing automobile-dependency of cities. Rapid motorization unavoidably shifts future travel from the most sustainable modes -public transport and non-motorized ones (walking and cycling) -to private vehicles. Despite growing concerns over energy futures, climate change, and access for the poor, public transport's market share of trips is expected to erode over the next decade in all world regions if past trends (in how ownership and usage of the private car is priced and public financial resources are spent on transport infrastructure) continue. A paradigm shift is needed in how we think about transportation and its relationship to the city. The integration of transport infrastructure and urban development must be elevated in importance. In many cities of the Global South, recent Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) investments provide an unprecedented opportunity to do just that. To date, however, BRT systems have failed to leverage compact, mixed-use development due not only to little strategic station-area planning but also factors like siting lines and stations in stagnant urban districts and busy roadway medians. BRT systems are being conceived and designed as mobility investments rather than city-shaping ones. Given that the majority of future urban growth worldwide will be in intermediate-size cities well-suited for BRT investments, the opportunities for making these not only mobility investments but cityshaping investments as well should not be squandered. Transit-oriented development is but one of a number of built forms that hold considerable promise toward placing cities of the Global South on more sustainable mobility and urbanization pathways.

“…However, as shown in the case of TURBLOG_WW (which focussed upon both the EU and Latin America), there are exceptions. On the other hand, there has been a large amount of interest (implying the possibility for policy transfer) shown in the international literature about the transport and land use system in one particular Brazilian city, Curitiba, as described by Khayesi and Amekudzi (2011), Duarte and Ultramari (2012), and Miranda and Rodrigues da Silva (2012), with mentions being made by many authors, including Vasconcellos (2005), Stead (2011), andMarsden et al (2012).…”

This paper presents a case study describing a transferability case study in Cariacica (Brazil), identifying various urban freight planning measures from other parts of the world that might be implemented in Cariacica. The case study developed a light transferability approach, which uses a low level of expert input and data requirements, and is thus appropriate for cities with highly limited financial resources. The case study focussed upon regulatory measures that are under the control of the local authority, and also identified possible barriers and facilitators for their implementation. It was generally considered that the 'light' transferability approach had been successful and could be used in many other 'smaller' cities. The paper provides insights both for research and transport planning practice (on identifying barriers, and hence solutions, for the successful implementation of urban freight transport measures). Furthermore, the paper provides a number of reflections about the transfer process, paying particular attention to the precise objectives of such exercises and the roles of transfer agents. Finally, conclusions are given which make a further justification of using a 'light' approach for policy transfer exercises in the context of the complexity of the urban freight transport system (further 'complexified' by transferability issues).
