ABSTRACT
The ‘developmental approach’ to urban transport planning outlined in the previous chapter is founded on three sets of considerations, namely:
experiences of urban transport planning in the industrialised countries, especially in the USA;
experiences of urban transport planning practice in the Third World; and
concepts and principles of development planning as they relate to urban transport, including consideration of urban development planning practice, concepts and principles of IUIDP, relationships established between transport technology and settlement hierarchies, and the use of sketch-planning.
The following is a summary of the first two areas of concern – the third already having been extensively discussed in Chapter 8.
