Sustainable mobility is a highly complex problem as it is affected
by the interactions between socio-economic, environmental,
technological and political issues. Energy, Transport, & the
Environment: Addressing the Sustainable Mobility Paradigm brings
together leading figures from business, academia and governments to
address the challenges and opportunities involved in working
towards sustainable mobility. Key thinkers and decision makers
approach topics and debates including: energy security and resource
scarcity greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions urban planning,
transport systems and their management governance and finance of
transformation *the threats of terrorism and climate change to our
transport systems. Introduced by a preface from U.S. Secretary of
Energy, Steven Chu and an outline by the editors, Dr Oliver
Inderwildi and Sir David King, Energy, Transport, & the
Environment is divided into six sections. These sections address
and explore the challenges and opportunities for energy supply,
road transport, urban mobility, aviation, sea and rail, as well as
finance and economics in transport. Possible solutions, ranging
from alternative fuels to advanced urban planning and policy
levers, will be examined in order to deepen the understanding of
currently proposed solutions within the political realities of the
dominating economic areas. The result of this detailed
investigation is an integrated view of sustainable transport for
both people and freight, making Energy, Transport, & the
Environment key reading for researchers, decision makers and policy
experts across the public and private sectors.
