Assessment of Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure in Urban Areas: A Case Study

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the assessment of sustainable transportation infrastructure in urban areas through a case study approach. The study focuses on analyzing the existing transportation infrastructure in an urban setting and evaluating its sustainability aspects. The research aims to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with sustainable transportation infrastructure planning and development in urban areas. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to examine the current trends, best practices, and theoretical frameworks related to sustainable transportation infrastructure. The research methodology involved a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews and surveys to gather insights from various stakeholders involved in urban transportation planning and development. The findings from the study reveal key factors influencing the sustainability of transportation infrastructure in urban areas, including accessibility, equity, environmental impact, and economic considerations. The discussion of findings highlights the importance of integrating sustainability principles into transportation infrastructure planning and development processes to create more livable and resilient urban environments. The conclusion summarizes the key findings and provides recommendations for policymakers, planners, and practitioners to enhance the sustainability of transportation infrastructure in urban areas. This thesis contributes to the existing body of knowledge on sustainable transportation infrastructure planning and provides valuable insights for future research and practice in urban and regional planning.
