ABSTRACT

Whether such places will be in central/inner city centres or edge city centres10 becomes an important consideration. The future city will probably be multi-nodal, organized around information technologies, and have distinct sub-centres with a particular cultural and economic identity. The city with just one major centre (CBD) will become less and less prevalent. Other agendas like social justice, sustainability and particularly automobile management, in urban areas, need to be assessed in the light of these likely changes in urban form and function. In this regard, recent studies11 indicate the following trends in transport sector developments.
