Local transport performance (LTP) is an approach to integral plan development. Co-operation between urban design and traffic is a condition for achieving this. The aim of this approach is to encourage structural attention to the quality of the living environment in planning development, which is furthered by ensuring that residents choose the most natural and appropriate means of transport for them and their surroundings. This can be achieved by a sophisticated urban and traffic design. The LTP approach supports municipal decision-making regarding locations for new development and restructuring. This approach can be used to develop and compare various types of plans and to calculate their effects for sustainable mobility and quality in the build environment. The approach is intended for everyone involved with spatial planning at a local level and the integration of urban design and traffic. In addition to official planners, urban designers and traffic experts, this also encompasses aldermen whose portfolio includes spatial planning, urban development or traffic. This publication outlines a number of general points of attention concerning the approach. Section one deals with the LTP approach documentation. The objective, basic principles and components are described. The basic principles of the approach are the joint design specification, the constant attention for the pros and cons of mobility and working according to the bottom-up design method. Section two is directed towards the practical application of the approach.
