Author Description

The impacts of transport on local and global environments are more apparent than ever before. This title provides an attention-grabbing introduction to sustainable transport development in practice via a series of case studies. Re-assessing the value and importance of non-motorised transport, it raises questions about the whole nature of development as a process. It advocates low-impact technologies and sustainable transport and shows how they make a practical contribution to post-development discourses. The case studies come from across the globe, both North and South (Bogota, Delhi, Jakarta, China and South Africa). The title demonstrates that achieving equity and sustainability will require profound transformation in the industrialised nations as much as in developing economies.
