Abstract: Based on the characteristics and development trends of SMCs strategies and policy guidelines for land use and transport planning are analyzed in this study. In regional and urban planning, apply public transit-oriented development to optimize the urban spatial structure, take shortest path as the target of mixed land use. Build appropriate street blocks and residential areas making blocks scale suitable for walking and bicycling. In road network design, put pedestrians and cyclists in the first place; meanwhile, establish convenient, fast public transport. Affect the use of private cars through transportation demand management, enhance the attractiveness of non-motorized transport modes, attract private car users to choose public transport, bicycling and walking instead of driving and maximize the benefits of non-motorized transport modes users.
Keywords: Small and medium sized cities, Land use, Non-motorized transport
