World’s biggest cities growing without proper transport planning – report

Many of the world’s most important cities are expanding rapidly without adequate transport planning, according to a new report released by the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP).

The report, People Near Transit: Improving Accessibility and Rapid Transit Coverage in Large Cities, highlights that very few cities are investing in the rapid transit systems that serve the less wealthy communities living outside of the urban core, even in Europe and especially in North America.
