Enhancing social outcomes from mega urban transport development: An integrated approach for transport and spatial planning
Juhyun Lee
1. The expansion of mega urban transport networks alone does not guarantee greater accessibility for all.
2. Enhancing social outcomes from mega urban transport projects requires understanding urban spatial transformation using an open multi-disciplinary framework, rather than sticking to closed transport-focused approach. 3. The evaluation of the long-term social outcomes needs an adaptive,
con-text-specific approach using multiple sources, multiple actors, and multiple methods.
4. For a fair distribution of accessibility and quality of life across a city, both macro-scale integration (i.e. well-balanced transportation connecting activ-ities across cactiv-ities) and micro-scale integration (i.e. carefully integrated land development into transport nodes) are essential.
5. To achieve desired outcomes from urban infrastructure projects, examination is needed, not only of technical solutions, but also of the institutional rules that influence how multiple actors interact and produce outcomes. 6. For an integrated approach to delivering accessibility and quality of life for all,
institutional harmonization and increased clarity of rules, roles and respon-sibilities between transport and spatial planning are essential.
7. To achieve desired outcomes from urban projects, institutional rules are important. However, if there are no capable actors, the desired outcomes are not likely to be achieved.
8. Without socially agreed rules, land use and transport integration may result in socially, environmentally and economically unsustainable urban development. 9. High-density commercial land use around transport nodes does not nec-essarily create greater accessibility to opportunities, but may compromise accessibility objectives and the quality of environs.
10. Planning should be understood as spatial ethics (a form of applied ethics; Upton, 2002); it is shaped by ethical values directed towards achieving bal-anced spatial development.
11. Academic life is largely all about publications, however, without integrity and originality, publication is devoid of purpose and value.
