Public transport and urban pollution
Borck, Rainald - 2017
The paper studies the effect of public transport policies on urban pollution. It uses a quantitative equilibrium model … with residential choice and mode choice. Pollution comes from commuting and residential energy use. The model parameters … transport coupled with increasing transit speed affects the equilibrium. In the baseline simulation, total pollution falls by 0 …

Analysis of environmental costs of mobility due to urban sprawl : a modelling study on Italian cities
Travisi, Chiara M.; Camagni, Roberto; Nijkamp, Peter - 2006
A sound empirical and quantitative analysis on the relationship between different patterns of urban expansion and the environmental or social costs of mobility is rare, and the few studies available provide at best a qualitative discussion of these issues. Some recent tentative studies on the...

Urban Transport Pollution : Revisiting the Environmental Kuznets Curve
Liddle, Brant - 2015
An inverted-U relationship between GDP per capita and three urban transport-related emissions is tested (using data from 84 cities). Per capita urban transport-related emissions of CO, VHC, and NOx increase and then decline at observed income levels — a result driven by a similar inverted-U...
