The world's population growth and economic prosperity have placed unprecedented demands on cities, transportation planning, and goods movement. This surge, coupled with a slower pace of transportation capacity expansion and deteriorated facility restoration, has resulted in rapid changes in the transportation planning and policy environment. Megacities, in particular, are experiencing alarming rates of mobility and facility degradation, making it crucial to address these transportation challenges promptly.

Megacity Mobility is a comprehensive approach that addresses transportation policy, planning, and facilities in a multimodal context. It explores innovative short- and long-term solutions to meet the current and future mobility needs of the world's most dynamic cities. By examining the influence of urban land use on mobility, implementing 3D spiderweb transportation planning, managing travel demand, promoting multimodal transportation with flexible capacity, optimizing capacity utilization through new technologies, exploring innovative transportation funding and financing mechanisms, and adopting performance-based budget allocation principles, Megacity Mobility aims to achieve sustainable mobility in the 21st century.

Zongzhi Li, a professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), serves as the director of the Sustainable Transportation and Infrastructure Research (STAIR) Center. Adrian T. Moore, vice president of policy at Reason Foundation in Washington, D.C., focuses on privatization, transportation, and urban growth. Samuel R. Staley, the director of the DeVoe L. Moore Center at th, also contributes to the book.

Megacity Mobility provides a comprehensive roadmap for policymakers, planners, and transportation professionals to navigate the complexities of urban transportation and achieve sustainable mobility. It highlights emerging issues, identifies potential challenges affecting proposed solutions, and offers practical insights to help cities address their transportation needs effectively. By adopting innovative approaches and leveraging technology, Megacity Mobility contributes to the development of more livable, efficient, and sustainable cities worldwide.
