Article Preview

Abstract:

In the last few decades, metropolitan districts have played an increasingly importance role in process of urbanization. To support this trend, transport, as a fundamental and strategic industry sector, should promote the development of metropolitan districts. This paper studies transport practices in metropolitan district development from varied dimensions: transport concept, transport infrastructure, administrative organization, and transport service. Corresponding to these dimensions, the representative transport practices that are closely related to metropolitan districts are investigated, which include the concept of smart growth, the intense and complex transport corridor, the interregional plan organization, and the intermodal passenger transport. Finally, conclusions are drawn and further suggestions are suggested.
