Transforming Cities by Controlling Pollution and Traffic Congestion (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Urban populations face pressing issues regarding pollution, urban and city planning, and traffic congestion. The daily struggles of individuals due to traffic jams and inadequate traffic signal systems, along with the significant costs associated, including lost productivity, emissions, and fuel consumption, impose a substantial financial burden on urban residents. However, sustainable solutions such as avenue planting, integrated green pedestrian planning, alternative routes, and eco-friendly mass transport systems have emerged to help control traffic congestion. Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter absorption strategies can also mitigate noise and air pollution through urban greening initiatives. Further research may encourage policymakers to consider alternative routing systems, smart transportation solutions, and integrated pedestrian planning processes to enhance environmental sustainability, safeguard public health, and promote additional health benefits. Transforming Cities by Controlling Pollution and Traffic Congestion explores environmental pollution, traffic congestion, and the necessity for urban planning through alternative routing systems. It examines diverse strategies for emission reduction and considers the social, environmental, and economic implications of traffic congestion, ultimately proposing solutions for the development of green and smart cities through a polycentric urban development framework. This book covers topics such as energy management, public health, and civil engineering, and is a useful resource for engineers, business owners, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
