Abstract： In a new era of optimizing planned land use within urban central area and promoting land use development outside urban central area in Tianjin, the contradiction between the ever- increasing travel demand and the unbalanced, inadequate and non-green urban transportation infrastructure development is becoming increasingly prominent. Aiming for a city of excellence in green transportation by 2030, this paper proposes a development strategy of green transportation system with the assessment measures for Tianjin central area, which focuses on three core targets: making city compact, bicycle friendly and more livable. The details of the green transportation development strategies for Tianjin central area are elaborated such as developing a multimode public transit backbone network, utilizing transit- oriented development, strengthening network for pedestrian and cyclists, protecting pedestrian travel, becoming a well- reputed city of bicycle travel, enforcing motorized vehicle control, promoting positive development with incentives, as well as building sustainable transportation for a livable city.
