About WCTRS SIG-F4

Special Interest Group (SIG-F4) is one of the Special Interest Groups of World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS) under the Topic Area F on “Livability and Sustainable Transport”. SIG-F4 focus on research that furthers our knowledge on the many linkages between sustainable transport and livability of cities and the policy, planning, design, and engineering interventions that affect these connections. These linkages of sustainable transport to livability may include impacts on: quality of life, equity, social justice; safety, accessibility, affordability, and environmental quality; disaster resiliency; physical, mental, economic, and social well-being, etc., and similar other indicators of livability.
