SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT SHOWCASE: Transport Networks: Making Sustainable Transport a Reality Legal name ISOCARP - International Society of City and Regional Planners Sector Urban and Spatial Planning, Urban Development and Management Headquarter location The Hague, The Netherlands Founding year 1965 Number of members 800 Website www.isocarp.org ISOCARP is a global association of experienced professional planners. It was founded in 1965 in a bid to bring together recognized and highly-qualified planners in an international network. The ISOCARP network brings together individual and institutional members from more than 80 countries worldwide. Members are planners and other stakeholders involved in the development and maintenance of the built environment. ISOCARP is formally recognised by the United Nations, the United Nations Human Settlements Program (UNHCS/UN- HABITAT), and the Council of Europe. The Society also has a formal consultative status with the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In 2011, ISOCARP organized a worldwide planning congress ‘Liveable Cities: Urbanising World, Meeting the Challenge’ in Wuhan, China. A dedicated session on sustainable transport systems investigated sustainable transport methods and procedures to link transport to the requirements of a low carbon environment and quality urban liveability. The congress concluded that making transport sustainable by far exceeds a traditional engineering approach, or matching physical provisions to budgetary constraints. A major paradigm shift in understanding the relationship between land-use planning and transport is needed for making a barrier free environment, where accessibility and mobility options positively impact on social justice and community well-being, land use, heritage preservation, land recycling and planning new developments. Urban form can contribute to a more carbon neutral settlement by treating transport as an integrated part of the cities, and by employing the means and ways to create an environment conducive to pedestrian, bicycle and public transport.
