Rethinking transportation : planning and building resilient systems to meet global externalities

Abstract

The transport system is an infrastructure that is critical to society. This is clearly demonstrated when the system is exposed to a sudden disruption or shock. Less damage to the system must be ensured in any sudden disturbance. Quick recovery of the system is important to avoid long-term effects. This essay focuses on finding sustainable strategies that enhance resilience in the planning and building of transport systems.
