Transforming Urban Transport confronts head-on the dilemma faced by a world wedded to mobility. It highlights the danger of continuing along the fossil-fuelled path and reveals viable technological alternatives which can be deployed to find a solution. It challenges the commonly held view that a combination of urbanity and higher residential density expressed in compact cities (expected to have greater public transport use) will resolve urban transport/environment problems, instead showing that transport systems can be changed to meet the environmental imperatives without the massive spatial change implied.
Complete with a companion website with a wealth of supporting material around the topic, this is essential read for all students and practitioners of transport planning.

Changes in urban mobility and transport require local institutional policy action. To support such action, the book explores new methods of governance of transport in dispersed and concentrated cities, new techniques for assessing transport needs, ways of improving childhood mobility, guidelines for political mobilization, and norms of knowledge sharing.
Drawing together leading scholars from different disciplines in Australia, Japan and China, this book provides a unique fusion of Asian and Australasian perspectives and engages with the coming needs of transport planning practitioners in both high density and dispersed cities.
