differentiates a “developing city”. The author means a city in a
less developed country, but I wonder if Brisbane, as it (very tentatively) embarks
on increasing the use of bicycles in transport, including in the CBD, faces
different challenges than, say, Bangkok.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>In transport, many modes have
been defined as “the most appropriate” or “the most
efficient”. After many years of debate, academics and practitioners of
sustainable urban transport have found that there is not a “most”
sustainable, appropriate or efficient mode of transport, the truth is that
what should be sustainable is the transport system, where various modes play
a key role. Predominantly, public transport, walking and bicycles are the
most favourable components of such a system. This brief article will discuss
why bicycles are one of these modes.</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
