ASSESSMENT OF INTEGRATED STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINABILITY IN DORTMUND

strategies and to demonstrate their long-term effect in European cities. To reach this goal, a comprehensive framework of methodologies including integrated land use, transport and en-vironmental models as well as indicator, evaluation and presentation systems were devel-oped. The paper presents results for the metropolitan area of Dortmund, Germany. The re-sults show that sustainability in Dortmund will deteriorate compared with the current situation. Public transport investments are not enough to halt this decline: they attract more passen-gers but accelerate urban sprawl. Car pricing policies improve urban sustainability. Land use policies have little effect but support the impacts of car pricing and public transport improve-ments. Best results are achieved by policy combinations, i.e. combinations of land use poli-cies and push and pull transport measures such as car pricing and improvements of public transport
