This book explores the role of railways in developing sustainable
low-carbon mobility by analyzing the intermodal relationship
between railways and other transport modes. Focusing on
geographical and governance perspectives, and taking China as a
case study, it analyzes the competition and cooperation between and
integration of railways and other transport modes, in order to
provide guidance on future sustainable transport development.
Firstly, the book examines the contribution of railways to low
carbon emissions in China over recent decades by estimating the
carbon dioxide emissions from various transport modes in China at
national and regional levels using decomposition analysis. It then
discusses the current competition and cooperation between railways
and other transport modes, as well as their integration and the
impact of their relationship on climate change. It also highlights
how the competition between railways and other transport modes may
change the passenger flows between city pairs and so alter
transport carbon emissions and examines how cooperation and
integration could improve passengers' travel experience while at
the same time reducing carbon emissions. Lastly, it addresses the
implications for future sustainable transport development based on
institutional analysis. Presenting multidisciplinary, sustainable
transport research on the role of railways in reducing carbon
emissions, and also offering policy recommendations for developing
low-carbon, integrated transport in the future, this book is a
valuable reference resource for graduates, researchers, and
government managers responsible for transport development, urban
planning and environmental policy.
