Sustainable Urban Transportation Evaluating Green Solutions for the Future

Abstract

The sustainability of transport systems is a significant challenge for urbanisation, as demonstrated by the escalating air pollution concerns in large cities. The increasing population and travel, despite little control over the pervasive use of public and private automobiles, have adversely impacted our global ecosystem. Consequently, the enhancement of the transportation system must be meticulously strategized for global sustainability, referred to as green transportation or sustainable transportation. The objective is to present a comprehensive review of the current advancements in the field and to elucidate the paths indicated by the literature for sustainable urban design. The sustainability of transport systems is a significant challenge for urbanization, as demonstrated by the escalating air pollution concerns in large cities. The increasing population and travel, despite limited control over the prevalent use of public and private cars, have severely damaged our worldwide ecosystem. Current research and practices are integrated, emphasizing the interrelationship between urban design and transportation systems in attaining sustainable objectives. The potential contributions of technical innovations like electric mobility and innovative urban planning strategies like transit-oriented development to sustainable urban transportation are also explored. This emphasizes the necessity of implementing comprehensive and flexible measures to promote sustainable urban settings, urging collaborative action from politicians, urban planners, and communities. When city planners are aware of the findings they may better plan for the future sustainability of their communities. This review examines eco-friendly transport options and their alignment with global sustainability objectives.
