Transportation and Sustainable Development
Planning must integrate transport and land use to achieve sustainable development, improve connectivity, and promote sustainable transport patterns that support the Executive's goals for economic rebuilding and social inclusion.
The successful integration of transport and land use is fundamental to the objective of furthering sustainable development. Planning has a vital contributing role for improving connectivity and promoting more sustainable patterns of transport and travel. DfI 'Ensuring a Sustainable Transport Future: A New Approach to Regional Transportation' document aims to achieve the transportation vision: "to have a modern, sustainable, safe transportation system which benefits society, the economy, and the environment and which actively contributes to social inclusion and everyone's quality of life". It recognises that our transportation networks are important in achieving the Executive's goal of rebuilding and rebalancing the economy.
