ISTP Urban Data

Click here for complete data on the cities (PDF 88kb) Data for 84 cities in 1995 (the latest year available) are used to establish a global perspective, while 15 cities typical of the situation in industrial and developing countries are compared to illustrate the main differences. The indicators discussed include transportation energy, transit use, population density, nonmotorized transport (NMT), relative speed of transit to traffic, and length of freeway.

The data are from a comparative study of 100 global cities for the International Union of Public Transport (UITP) and conducted by the Institute for Sustainab ility and Technology Policy (ISTP) at Murdoch University. It involved 27 parameters using highly controlled processes to ensure comparability of data. Click here for more...
