Summary

Quality of life evaluation of transport infrastructure measures project performance relative to its impact on individual happiness and social burden. Quality of life evaluation’s integrated approach could also boost transport infrastructure policymaking and the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Chubu University has been a leader of quality of life evaluation research within the sector, conducting a three-year road transport study supported by Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

This ADBI-Chubu University-World Conference on Transport Research Society international symposium examined quality of life transport infrastructure evaluation, spatial planning, and their implications for developing Asia. The focus was on quality of life evaluation’s principles, application, and sustainable growth benefits, drawing upon case studies from France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

The symposium was supported by the Japan Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism; the Japanese Association of The Club of Rome; and the Chubu Region Sustainable Development Goals Platform.
