Urban Slow Transportation System Based on “The Living Environment and Urban Space ”

Abstract:

Slow transportation system is currently a hot topic among Chinese scholars who are interested in either city planning or urban communications. Although their contentions regarding this issue vary, their concerns can be categorized into two main aspects: traffic speed, and the means of travelling. These two concepts are interconnected, as they at the same time contradict each other. However, traffic speed not only depends on peoples’ travelling methods; In this paper, the researcher intends to accomplish two things; one is to rationally study the “fast and slow” of urban traffic and the pedestrianization of urban streets, the other is to rethink the significance of “slow transportation system.”
