Description
Book SynopsisThese papers discuss how transport paradigms have evolved over the past decade. They show how to translate the understanding of the social and cultural elements of increased transportation of goods and people into more effective and less harmful transport strategies.
Trade Review"Overall this book does not - nor does it even attempt to - provide the holy grail that is the answer of how one implements sustainable transport policy on the ground ... It does, though, contribute further ideas on a number of general and more specific policy areas and for this reason it is worth a look." Local Transport Today, July 2003. "The book makes useful contributions to the debate, some by well-known authors in the field. Whilst, it would have been very demanding to provide all the answers of how to delivery sustainable transport, this book provokes debate." The Transport Geography, Vol 30, No 2, Summer 2003.
