This study describes transport conditions in Chengdu and examines opportunities to build a sustainable transport system in the city. The aim of the new transport system is to reduce environmental pollution. The study is divided into three main parts.
The first section introduces the importance of developing sustainable system in urban areas, and also provides good examples to explain how transportation policies supporting developed countries to develop a well- fit sustainable transport system. This section also shows readers the background of Chengdu in terms of population, construction and area function. In addition, the definitions of sustainable city and sustainable transport are also explained in this section to show a worldwide standard of developing a sustainable transport city.
The second section discusses the case study. The case study mainly focuses on Chengdu’s experience of developing a sustainable transport system, and practical experience Chengdu government obtained to develop a sustainable transport development. By using some figures, challenges of developing a sustainable transport system in Chengdu has been explored.
The third section offers a solution to solve problems. This section contains the recommendations of the local urban environmental pollution reduction and the future research in developing sustainable transport system of Chengdu. When construction is undertaken, how to protect surrounding environment is given as a recommendation at the end. Moreover, alternative transportation, such as electric vehicle is an important part in developing a sustainable city, however, it's in an early age of development, a further research based on the development of alternative transportation is needed in the near future.
