This timely book calls for a paradigm shift in urban transport,
which remains one of the critically uncertain aspects of the
sustainability transformation of our societies. It argues that the
potential of human scale thinking needs to be recognised, both in
understanding people on the move in the city and within various
organisations responsible for cities. Taking a multidisciplinary
approach with a focus on the human scale, expert contributors offer
lessons for responsible innovation practices to advance the human
scale urban mobility technologies. Chapters also offer new insights
into the development of urban and transport planning processes,
considering new data, methods and approaches. Drawing on specific
examples, the book presents a critical analysis of key topics,
including the relationship between transport and wellbeing, the
relationship between accessibility and income, the mobility of the
elderly and various transport planning and policy questions.
Transport in Human Scale Cities will be a critical reading for
scholars and students of transport studies, urban economics, and
urban and human geography. Its arguments for broadening the
discussion on humans in urban mobility systems and necessary
actions for the transition out of the current car-dependent
mobility regime will also benefit policy-makers and practitioners
in these fields.
