Sustainable mobility has become the new imperative for transport
policy. There have been a number of policy attempts at sustainable
mobility globally, such as the development of more efficient
conventional transport technologies, the promotion of efficient and
affordable public transport systems and the encouragement of
environmental awareness. Such policies have so often been presented
as prerequisites for sustainable mobility that they are now taken
for granted. But are any of these policies really successful? To
what extent do they actually contribute (or fail to contribute) to
sustainable mobility? Why do some policies succeed and others fail?
Using an interdisciplinary approach which brings together various
theories and methodologies, this book tests each of these policies
- or hypotheses, as the author sees them - with detailed empirical
investigations. It also argues that leisure-time travel should be
included in any sustainable mobility policies, as it now accounts
for 50 per cent of all annual travel distance in developed
countries. The book concludes by suggesting fourteen theses of
sustainable mobility for the EU and a new model for future best
practice.
