• Two types of Asian coastal city are emerging from the rapidly urbanizing processes of the region. The three wealthy cities of Singapore, from Hong Kong and Tokyo have invested much of their wealth in transit systems and built their cities around them. The seven newly industrializing cities of Bangkok, Jakarta, Surabaya, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul and Beijing have moved much more toward an automobile-based paradigm of development. The data on these two groups of cities indicate that the traffic problems of these latter cities are producing some of the worst urban environmental outcomes in the world, and they are showing little obvious economic benefit in a comparative sense on all indicators examined. The policy implication is that investment should prioritize electric rail options and, as the urban form of such cities is still oriented to dense corridors, the results in terms of economic and environmental performance could be quite dramatic.
