The car, and the range of social and political institutions which
sustain its dominance, play an important role in many of the
environmental problems faced by contemporary society. But in order
to understand the possibilities for moving towards sustainability
and 'greening cars', it is first necessary to understand the
political forces that have made cars so dominant. This book
identifies these forces as a combination of political economy and
cultural politics. From the early twentieth century, the car became
central to the organization of capitalism and deeply embedded in
individual identities, providing people with a source of value and
meaning but in a way which was broadly consistent with social
imperatives for mobility. Projects for sustainability to reduce the
environmental impacts of cars are therefore constrained by these
forces but must deal with them in order to shape and achieve their
goals.
