This book provides a comprehensive analysis of long-term changes in
the car market of an emerging economy, with a focus on its spatial
and temporal dimensions. Poland, the case study in question,
represents a unique "laboratory of automobile revolution" during
the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The volume brings to the
fore several key aspects of the car market, such as car ownership,
markets for new cars, import of second-hand cars, car use,
electromobility and environmental impact. Many of them are the
subject of a global debate in the context of achieving sustainable
development goals. Others, meanwhile, point to the unique nature of
transformations related to the car market in Poland. Altogether,
consideration of these aspects enriches the international
literature with new results and findings that will broaden the
field of discussion on the car market onto the emerging economies,
especially those of Central and Eastern Europe. The book combines
the results of quantitative and qualitative research. The former is
based on a big data set (ca. 40 million vehicles) and the latter on
an in-depth social survey (questionnaire interviews with more than
4,000 drivers). The discussion of the geography of automobile
revolution is linked to other social, economic and spatial
phenomena and processes (e.g. urban sprawl or rural
marginalisation; consumer decisions and the evolution of quality of
life; and the development of individual entrepreneurship or
environmental protection), as well as to transport, tax and customs
policies. The analysis of the dynamics of change pays particular
attention to the role of "critical junctures", such as the collapse
of the communist system, EU membership, the world financial crisis
(2007-2009) and first period of COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021). The
book will be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners
dealing with transport research, geography of transportation,
spatial economy, urban and regional planning and sustainability
studies, and for car hobbyists.
