Abstract
The research examines the relationship between the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from the transport sector and land use planning patterns conspicuously seen in Asia (namely, dense, mixed use, and Non Motorized Transport-NMT and pedestrian friendly urban design). It also looks at its co-benefit of air quality control from GHG mitigation from the transport sector through land use planning, especially, aiming for developing country cities of the Asia-Pacific region. The research takes an example of a Japanese city, Yokohama.
