PUBLIC TRANSPORT: PROBLEMS FACING CITY CENTRES TODAY

Authors

Abstract

The cities of Western Europe are nowadays facing many common problems. Though many of the gigantic schemes of the sixties and early seventies such as Les Halles in Paris and Part Dieu in Lyon are still to be finished, there seems to have been a shift towards the small scale project from these vast enterprises. City centres are of late going through what smacks more of decline than expansion and the emphasis is now more on conservation and ecology in town planning. This in turn has led to an increase in the understanding of public transport in its social, economic and ecological dimensions and the need to control is cost efficiency as against that of its private automobile competitor. This being as it may, there is still no clear idea of to what a degree city centre development can be planned nor what can realy be done to halt its decline. The price for city centre development has usually been paid for by inner core districts with all the concomitant damagw that this must entail.
