Sustainable mobility has long been sought after in cities around
the world, particularly in industrialised countries, but also
increasingly in the emerging cities in Asia. Progress however
appears difficult to make as the private car, still largely fuelled
by petrol or diesel, remains the mainstream mode of use. Transport
is the key sector where carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions seem
difficult to reduce. Transport, Climate Change and the City seeks
to develop achievable and low transport CO2 emission futures in a
range of international case studies, including in London,
Oxfordshire, Delhi, Jinan and Auckland. The aim is that the
scenarios as developed, and the consideration of implementation and
governance issues, can help us plan for and achieve attractive
future travel behaviours at the city level. The alternative is to
continue with only incremental progress against CO2 reduction
targets, to 'sleepwalk' into climate change difficulties, oil
scarcity, a poor quality of life, and to continue with the high
traffic casualty figures. The topic is thus critical, with
transport viewed as central to the achievement of the sustainable
city and reduced CO2 emissions.
