“…From 1993 to 2009, Freiburg redeveloped two inner suburban neighborhoods around newly extended light rail lines (City of Freiburg 2007b, 2008e, 2009aRyan and Thorgmorton 2003). Rieselfeld was built on the site of a former sewage farm; Vauban was built on the grounds of an abandoned French military base.…”

This article examines changes in transport and land-use policies in Germany over the last 40 years that have encouraged more walking, bicycling and public transport use. It focuses on a case study of policy changes in the city of Freiburg, where over the last three decades, the number of bicycle trips tripled, public transport ridership doubled, and the share of trips by automobile declined from 38% to 32%. Since 1990, motorization rates have leveled-off and per-capita CO 2 emissions from transport have fallen-despite strong economic growth. The analysis identifies policies that are transferable to car-oriented countries around the world.

“…Three cities in the above list from three different continents (Freiburg, Curitiba and Singapore) have been of particular interest to sustainable transport researchers, generating the following single-city journal articles: on Freiburg (FitzRoy and Ryan and Throgmorton, 2003;Buehler and Pucher, 2011;Kronsell, 2013;and Freytag et al, 2014); on Curitiba (Rabinovitch, 1996;Smith and Raemakers, 1998;Taniguchi, 2001;Duarte et al, 2011;Khayesi and Amekudzi, 2011;Miranda and de Silva, 2012;Macedo, 2013;and Mercier et al, 2015); and on Singapore (Willoughby, 2001;May, 2004;Lam and Toan, 2006;Richmond, 2008;Han, 2010;and Haque et al, 2013).…”

This paper suggests an alternative and, arguably, more comprehensive definition of the last mile as a personal travel concept. This characterization of the last mile is used as a catalyst for discussion of a radical urban car free vision to explore how such urban areas might operate in practice. A range of international examples of places where substantial change in urban transport has occurred are included to illustrate the potential for change, how this has been brought about and how close different areas are to achieving very different urban transport futures.The overwhelming argument is that such urban areas can work and in the context of the last mile concept provide a neat solution to many of the associated issues and problems. It is shown that a number of urban areas appear to be moving towards such car free futures and others might be expected to follow once the benefits become clearer.

“…The lack of land-use plans has a negative impact on the environment, for example investment pressure on environmentally valuable areas or local landscape (Rzeńca, 2011;Nowak, 2013). The problem of spatial planning on the peripheries of the cities is also mentioned in the international literature (Ryan, Throgmorton, 2003).…”

Land-Use Planning and Satellite Imagery Used for Green Areas Protection – Case Study of the City of Łódź, Poland

The article presents the issues of spatial planning on the case study of Łódź. Of significance in Łódź are its outer peripheries, which due to their natural value have become areas that must be protected and monitored in order to limit the anthropogenic impact. Protection of these areas may be carried out through the usage of instruments such as local land-use plans which help to limit the green field development phenomenon and to look after the biologically active surfaces within the borders of the city. The second step which may concern the areas with local land-use plans, as well as those without current local land-use plans, is monitoring. Such monitoring may be carried out through the analyses of satellite imagery of the city area. Such activities are a kind of low-budget enterprises which bring many benefits at a very small cost resulting from the purchase of satellite imagery. From the perspective of the authorities, a crucial fact is that the material collected during the analyses of the satellite imagery may be used in the initial phase of the planning process as an element of the inventory of areas designated for the development of land-use plans.
