Even though in general car ownership levels are relatively low in developing countries,they are rising very rapidly.To compound matters,car ownership is heavily concentrated in their capital cities.Taking the poor quality of the transport infrastructure in these countries,accompanied by decreasing levels of personal safety and widespread pollution,it can be readily seen that the urban transport problem is at its most intractable in the cities of the developing countries.Pendyala and Kitamura (2007) in initiating the special issue of Transportation to address the issue of rapid motorization in countries of South and East Asia expressed alarm over the explosive growth in vehicle ownership and utilization in rapidly developing Asian economies.They both hoped that the 2007 issue would help to identify some key forces driving the motorization trend and pave the way towards understanding the implications of the trend for future sustainable development in the Asian cities.This present issue of Transportation aims to build on further the understanding and the implications of the motorization trend,this instance mainly tackling the issues faced in Kuala Lumpur,capital city of Malaysia as well as the provincial city of George Town,Penang and drawing comparisons with the Kei-Han-Shin (Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe) region in Japan.The five papers that made up this issue are the result of a collaborative effort under the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)-VCC program between the two countries which runs from 2000 to 2009.It is hoped that the special issue will address the dearth of literature on the subject matter of transportation and urban development in Kuala Lumpur.
