2. Sustainable development of urban transport
Mr. A. Peniglinine, Director of the Transportation, Water Supply and Urban Development Bureau of the World Bank, stressed three mutually supplementary principles when assessing the sustainable development of urban transport: sustainability of economy and finance, sustainability of social development and environmental sustainability. The concept of sustainability is deeply influencing the planning and decision-making process of urban transport. At present, cities in developed countries achieve the sustainable development of urban transport from the following two aspects: comprehensive planning of transportation and land use and making public transport a priority choice for residents.
It is decided by China''s national conditions that Chinese cities must make great efforts to develop public transport system and adhere to the principle of giving priority to public transport.

That is priority in policy, including priority in capital, planning and construction, or in terms of the long-term development strategy of the urban transportation, priority is given to constructing the fast track transport system, public transport system and special road system with big capacity. Tactical priority means to give priority and passing privilege to the public transport system in terms of time and space, to increase its speed, shorten time spent on road and improve the transport efficiency so as to attract passengers to use the public transport system. This is achieved mainly through corresponding management methods, including time priority and special privilege during the rush hours. For example, in Hong Kong, cars are not allowed to make right turns during rush hours and only public buses have the privilege of making right turns (in Hong Kong, people drive on benefit). In terms of space priority
