This book, set within a social gerontology and transport behaviour
studies paradigm, examines current debates and issues around
transport for older people and its relationship to health and
wellbeing for individuals and society as a whole. This timely title
explores transport and travel needs and motivations of older
people, barriers older people face using public and community
transport, difficulties in accessing public spaces for walking and
cycling. The safety of older drivers and recent advances in
technology are also investigated. Concluding by looking to the
future in addressing digital cities, driverless cars and other
changes in ICT that may affect older people and their travel
behaviour, a variety of global perspectives examine the social
aspects of mobility and transport from a psychological,
sociological, and geographical perspective. This title will be of
interest to those working with older people in the health and
wellbeing sector, those involved in transport and town and country
planning and academics examining gerontology and associated social
science subjects.
