Urban Transportation Development in China:Current State and 2035 Prospect
An in-depth analysis of the foundational characteristics of urban transportation in China,the ac-curate identification of existing issues,and the projection of future development trends are fundamental tasks for formulating urban transportation development strategies.This paper summarizes the characteris-tics and evolution in urban transportation demand over the past four decades in China,highlighting two prominent trends amid the ongoing urbanization process:the diversification of travel types and purposes,and the general increase in commuting distances.Reviewing the outstanding achievements in transporta-tion infrastructure and informatization in road facilities,public transportation system,and transportation in-formatization,the paper highlights practical issues in China's urban transportation system,such as its mis-alignment with the urban spatial development,declining operational efficiency,and need for enhanced gov-ernance capabilities.Looking towards 2035,urban transportation development should return to the value orientation that prioritizes meeting people's needs and supporting efficient urban operations.Digital,infor-mation-based,and intelligent technologies should be leveraged to drive innovations in developing transpor-tation supply-demand models,governance systems,and governance capabilities,to further promote a deep integration with urban space,economy,society,and ecology and advance towards a vision of high-quality,highly accessible,inclusive,and sustainable development.
