The Study on Transportation Planning for Historic Cities Based on Low Carbon Concept

Abstract:

With the rapid development of urbanization and motorization, contradiction between transportation development and historical features protection becomes prominent. Transportation planning is crucial for the future development of a city; therefore, active strategies must be adopted on account of the characteristics of historic cities. This paper argues that for historic cities, the principle of transportation planning should be low carbon, low pollution and low energy. Taking Penglai city as an example, the author analyzes its traffic features first, and then with the guidance of low carbon principle, the author probes into issues such as public transportation, road network, parking facilities and transportation supervision of the transportation planning.
