Institutional Barriers to Sustainable Transport

Meer over het boek

Focusing on transport planning in Australia, the book reveals that 'car dependence' stems from institutional factors as much as technical ones. Through case studies in three metropolitan areas, it illustrates how transport policy has become entrenched in favor of private, road-based transport, creating barriers to sustainable mobility solutions. The insights offered are relevant to cities worldwide and extend beyond transport planning, challenging conventional beliefs and encouraging a reevaluation of current policies.
