Green Transport: Resource Optimization in the Road Sector in the People’s Republic of China (Executive Summary)

The purpose of the in-depth study on Resource Optimization in the Road Sector was to examine how the development of the road system in the People’s Republic of China affects the use of land, the use of energy, and the quality of the environment, and whether more efficient management of the transportation system could limit or reduce those impacts. The outcome of the study is a series of recommended policies and guidelines and a handbook to help better balance the needs of economic growth with the valid concerns about the use of energy and scarce resources and the environmental impacts.
