The basic environmental problems caused by the automotive explosion are found to be much the same worldwide. The papers in this book deal with alternative responses to this common problem and solutions are proposed for a variety of cases in North America, Western Europe, and the Far East. It is pointed out that if automobiles were noiseless and emissionless, their sheer numbers would still generate a tremendous impact on the environment. The first paper is Environmental Implications of Options in Urban Mobility: Observations of the Environmental Committee of OECD. This is followed by Urban Public Transport: Service Innovations in Operations, Planning, and Technology, by Robert A. Burco; Methods of Traffic Limitation in Urban Areas, J. Michael Thomson; The Automobile and the Environment: Implications for the Planning Process, Marvin L. Manheim and John H. Suhrbier; Automobile and Cities: Strategies for Developing Countries, Wilfred Owen; and Automotive Air Pollution and Noise; Implications for Public Policy, by an Ad Hoc Group to the Environment Committee of OECD.
