Abstract

A recent benchmarking survey of current land-use, transport and environmental policies in cities outside of the two major conurbations of Tokyo and Osaka together with parallel research into implementation barriers based on interviews with government officials in Nagoya allows us to identify the contemporary situation in Japanese cities. Barriers to the implementation of environmentally sustainable transport policies are: funding sources; the existing legislative framework; administrative arrangements; and stakeholder positioning. These problems are highlighted with particular reference to light rail transit (LRT). For the covering abstract see ITRD E128680.
