Author Description

What is the relation between urban transport and issues of environment, energy, and social equity? This question is best answered through a broad analysis of urban transport, including a systematic treatment of relevant institutional, financial, technological, and economic problems. Without addressing these problems, environmental, energy, and social objectives can never be achieved. This book introduces the problems, possibilities, and choices facing urban transport in Brazil. It reviews a broad range of subjects, seeking to stimulate a more integrated approach to relevant policy issues.
