Unsustainable Transport: City Transport in the New Century

The book addresses the linkages between transport and sustainable urban development, from an analysis of the global picture through issues relating to transport and energy intensity, public policy and the institutional and organizational constraints on change. The central part of the book explores the linkages in more detail at the city level, covering land use and development, economic measures, and the role that technology can play. The final part looks for inspiration to events in developing countries and the means by which we can move from the unsustainable present to a more sustainable future.
