Sustainable development and transportation of the world metropolises

Abstract

Both theoretical and empirical research was (until recently) mainly focused on the metropolises of the developed world. These results were then (completely uncritically) used for the metropolises of underdeveloped countries. Hence, here a comparative analysis of different world metropolises (from USA, Australia, Canada, Europe, wealthy Asian, and developing countries) is given, based on the different economic, urban and transport indicators, and many other derived indicators, essential for the implementation of the main principles of sustainable urban development.

U literaturi je (do skora) fokus istraživanja bio usmeren prvenstveno na metropole razvijenog sveto, a rezultati ovih istraživanja potom nekritički primenjivani i na metropole zemalja u razvoju. Stoga je u ovom radu data komparativna analiza razvoja američkih, australijskih, kanadskih zapadnoevropskih, bogatih azijskih i metropola zemalja u razvoju, bazirana ne samo na (preciznim, međusobno uporedivim) ekonomskim, saobraćajnim i urbanim pokazateljima, već i na brojnim izvedenim pokazateljima, presudnim za promišljanje i sprovođenje u život koncepta održivog urbanog razvoja.
