Integrated Transport and Urban Planning Exeriencies from the Livable City and other projects Carl-Johan Engström, prof KTH
An ultimate challenge to find urban transport systems that face the dual needs of attractiveness and efficient mobility Traditional public transport systems have not alone credible solutions
Simultaneous trends: regional enlargement and urban concentration growing transport demands between cities and in the cities
city networking is an act of finding platforms for common actions from the principle of mutual respect through process design (forum arena court).. from a regional perspective
Distant commuting meets many needs alternative?
Challenge Regenerate the railway stations and raise the capacity in the rail system
Uppsala C Bergsbrunna Alsike Knivsta Märsta Rosersberg Sollentuna Ulriksdal Arlanda Upplands Väsby Häggvik Solna Corridor cooperation 8 municipalities 2 county administrations New focus towards developement or regeneration close to the railway stations
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Ongoing planning processes beslut remiss Rev statlig infraplan -2015 remiss Förh.man Cederschiöld antagande beslut utställelse planförslag planförslag remissförslag direktiv riksdagen proposition remiss underlag remiss programskede samrådsförslag remiss direktiv Ny statlig infraplan - 2019 RUFS Regional cooperation in order to get the different parts of the region united Corridor groups find common priorities First priority in each group: the new city tunnel in Stockholm
1. Measures that impact on transport needs and the means of transport 2. More effective utilisation of existing infrastructure and vehicles 3. Limited rebuilding measures 4. New investments and more major rebuilding measures a new type of aggrement
The urban transport system as framework for citydevelopment New station Central station
A new railway station: better accessibility, priority for public transport and new devolopments
A joint project between
A new railway station: better accessibility, priority for public transport and new devolopments
new station bridging social and cultural barriers
Challange urban development and public transport metropoles suburbs big cities surounding towns countryside old industri town > 25000 12500 25000 < 12500 tot Sweden
Traffic strategy the inner city priority to pedestrians, cyclists public transport to the travel centre walking speed areas for cars which enables accessibility the city as a whole new network of express bus routes competitive to cars well designed nodes for changing between different transport modes a bike-road system throughout the whole city
public transport structures new urban corridors with city life accessibility as a tool for new development The main car routes from 1970 s - a new possibility for urban development
find more innovative and integrative solutions into the urban fabric - including the buildings
Challenge on state policies a doubled public transport share sustainability - climate strategies and conventional environment objectives are often conflicting in urban development social aspects are missing on state level EU has some urban policies that Sweden could use
Challenge bicycling policies recommended strategy a continuous bicycle net through-out the hole city bike roads should be connected to public transport stops bike-parking should be high lighted in connection wit - nodes - down town areas - work places
Challage Car transport recommended strategy car traffic on the terms of the city life accessibility/passability low speed areas parking standards
the street configuration today Shared space: the new concept of the street a diversity of attractive public spaces
Challenge The structure of metropolitan suburs
no block is connected to the next one a place to leave for any activity
Challenge development of follow up measures
3 conclusions from the pilot project the Livable City 1. the economic development is a driving forces towards dens and multifunctional towns 2. dens and multifunctional towns are important prerequisites for reducing climate effects 3. multifunctional areas promotes social interaction, serendipity and a variety of cultures AND 2 more conclusions sustainability is in harmony with some dominating development trends if they are carefully taken care of a window of opportunity for spatial planning
Summing up the challanges: reduce climate and environmental impacts of traffic increase the interplay between future building development and investments in new infrastructure and thereby the resulting synergy effects shorten the lead times in the planning processes
