Transportation and Urban Planning

Page

The Harvard-China Project has long worked on both: 1) air quality impacts of road and now air transport, led by scientists and engineers; and 2) urban planning to reduce transportation demand, led by urban planners in the Harvard Graduate School of Design...

The influence of neighborhood types on active transport in China’s growing cities

Journal Article

Rapid urban expansion in China has created both opportunities and challenges for promoting active transport in urban residential communities. Previous studies have shown that the urban form at the city scale has affected active transport in Chinese cities...

A nested grid formulation for chemical transport over Asia: Applications to CO

Journal Article

A global three-dimensional chemical transport model (GEOS-CHEM) was modified to permit treatment of a limited spatial regime with resolution higher than that adopted for the global background. Identified as a one-way nested grid formulation, the model was...

The influence of urban form and socio-demographics on active transport: a 40 neighborhoods study in Chengdu, China

Journal Article

In China a centralized planning culture has created similar neighborhoods across the country. Using a survey of 1,048 individuals conducted in 2016 in Chengdu—located in a carefully conceptualized typology of neighborhood forms—we analyzed the...

Linking land use and transportation in a rapidly urbanizing context: A study in Delhi, India

Journal Article

Cities in developing countries like India are facing some of the same concerns that North American cities are: congestion and urban growth. However, there is a sense of urgency in cities like Delhi, India in that this growth is far more rapid as both...

Urban transportation planning for air quality management: Case study of Delhi, India, and role of social and economic costs in welfare maximization of mobility choice

Journal Article

Recent economic expansion and population growth in developing countries have had a big impact on the development of large cities like Delhi, India. Accompanied by Delhi's rapid spatial growth over the last 25 years, urban sprawl has contributed to...

Does neighborhood form influence low-carbon transportation in China?

Journal Article

Developing less auto-dependent urban forms and promoting low-carbon transportation (LCT) are challenges facing our cities. Previous literature has supported the association between neighborhood form and low-carbon travel behaviour. Several studies have...

Decarbonizing China: Power System Strategies to Electrify Transportation and Building Heating with Renewable Sources

Speaker: Chen Xinyu CHEN Xinyu, Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard China Project, Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Sponsored by China Project, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Abstract To fulfill targets in energy...

Top-down estimate of China's black carbon emissions using surface observations: Sensitivity to observation representativeness and transport model error

Journal Article

This study examines the sensitivity of “top-down” quantification of Chinese black carbon (BC) emissions to the temporal resolution of surface observations and to the transport model error associated with the grid resolution and wet deposition. At two...
