The past decade has been one of the most volatile periods in global
petroleum markets in living memory, and future oil supply security
and price levels remain highly uncertain. This poses many questions
for the professional activities of planners and urbanists because
contemporary cities are highly dependent on petroleum as a
transport fuel. How will oil dependent cities respond, and adapt
to, the changing pattern of petroleum supplies? What key strategies
should planners and policy makers implement in petroleum vulnerable
cities to address the challenges of moving beyond oil? How might a
shift away from petroleum provide opportunities to improve or
remake cities for the economic, social and environmental
imperatives of twenty-first-century sustainability? Such questions
are the focus of contributors to this book with perspectives
ranging across the planning challenge: overarching petroleum
futures, governance, transition and climate change questions, the
role of various urban transport nodes and household responses, ways
of measuring oil vulnerability, and the effects on
telecommunications, ports and other urban infrastructure. This
comprehensive volume - with contributions from and focusing on
cities in Australia, the UK, the US, France, Germany, the
Netherlands and South Korea - provides key insights to enable
cities to plan for the age beyond petroleum.
