Transport is now a critical problem throughout the world, and it is
set to get worse. Whether it is traffic congestion, crashes (10
million killed and injured each year), noise, air pollution,
landscape destruction, or greenhouse gas emissions (of which
transport is the fastest-growing source), the damage and the costs
from our current forms of transport are dangerously high and
getting worse. Policies and practical measures that can reduce and
eliminate these problems are urgently needed. This Reader contains
16 important contributions on how to improve transport globally.
They are based on sound science, sound people-centred analysis, and
a strong awareness of equity and human rights. And they have been
selected for their originality, the importance of the issues they
focus on, the quality of their insight and their practical
relevance. A further 7 commissioned chapters provide informative
overviews of the transport problems specific to each region of the
world, while the editors' Introduction and Conclusion frames the
discussion and lays out the scale of the challenges we face. As a
whole, the Reader demonstrates what steps can be taken to improve
both transport provision and use, in both the developed and the
developing world, while reducing environmental and health impacts.
It will serve as an invaluable sourcebook for anyone researching or
attempting to address the issues associated with world transport
policy and practice, whether students, planners, business people or
policy-makers.
