Climate change is one of the greatest environmental,
\r\neconomic, and social challenges of our time. Urban transportation has
\r\nhad a major negative impact on our environment—most of our air
\r\npollution comes from transport.
\r\nThis paper explores ways to move toward a more sustainable
\r\ntransport system by focusing on creating a more efficient and livable
\r\ncity and improving the environmental efficiency of transport activity.
\r\nThe analytical study covers some international examples of applying
\r\nsustainable transportation and uses them to suggest a frame work to
\r\ndevelop the transportation system in Egypt to be sustainable and more
\r\nintelligent.<\/p>\r\n","references":"
