Abstract
This briefing on transportation in Dubai is based on the environmental paradox of cities: when humans cluster in dense, mixed-use urbanism, they decrease their impact on the global environment more than they increase their impact on the local environment; in other words, the ecological and carbon footprints per capita are smaller than in low-density sprawl.
