Description
This book addresses the links between transport and sustainable urban development, from an analysis of the global picture to issues in transport and energy intensity, public policy and the institutional and organisational constraints on change. The central part of the book explores these links in more detail at city level, covering land use and development, economic measures, and the role that technology can play. The final part looks for inspiration from events in developing countries and the means by which we can move from the unsustainable present to a more sustainable future.
'This brilliant analysis of the crucially important issue of sustainability further reinforces Banister's reputation as one of the world's leading authorities on the topic. He provides a thorough, highly informative, up-to-date examination of the problems and alternative solutions to transport's current unsustainability, including proposals for practical strategies to implement the necessary policy measures.' -Professor John Pucher, Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA
'The definitive contribution to this centrally important topic, which will remain the standard work for years to come.' -Professor Sir Peter Hall, Institute of Community Studies, University College London
