• Description:
  This report examines the relations among population, transportation, and urban air pollution. The analysis sheds light on ways that cities could expand transportation services in a way that minimizes air pollution and maximizes economic development. The report combines statistical analysis of national data sets with qualitative approaches to examine (1) the impact of household transportation use on urban air pollution, (2) how various household characteristics affect impact, and (3) city dwellers' and policymakers' attitudes toward pollution and transportation challenges. The case studies were conducted in three cities that are known to have severe transportation-related problems: Bangkok, Mexico City, and Washington, D.C
