Drawing on discourse analysis, this innovative book takes a novel
approach to examining the different interpretations, diversity of
views and controversy in society about transport and urban
development. Combining theory with empirical case studies, this
book breaks new ground in the field by critically engaging with an
understanding of the different perspectives and subjectivities
associated with transport systems and urban development projects.
Incorporating the diverse wider societal and political contexts,
various approaches to discourse analysis are examined, including
content analysis, critical discourse analysis and Q methodology.
Examining the narratives in transport and urban development,
chapters study car advertising, highway reconstruction, public
transport, bus provision, transit-orientated development and
financialisation, walking and cycling networks, and emerging new
technologies. Ultimately, the book argues that mainstream views and
processes must be confronted in order to respond to contemporary
public policy challenges, and makes a convincing case for the wider
use of discourse analysis in transport and urban development
research, planning and implementation. Global in scope, this
cutting-edge book will prove vital reading for students and
scholars of transport planning and urban development. Its practical
guidance will be useful to transport and development policymakers
and practitioners working in urban and regional authorities,
consultancies and civil society.
