Summary

Examines the idea that a "predict and provide" approach is being displaced by an emergent "new realism" in transport planning. This shift entails the development of demand management as a potential new discourse for the discipline with implications for the relevance of this discourse in wider governance contexts. The book presents case studies of local transport policy-making and in-depth analysis of UK national transport policy in the period 1987-2000 to highlight how policy was promoted and resisted. Unlike other contemporary studies of transport policy-making, it does this through pioneering a detailed methodological and theoretical framework derived from the social and political sciences.
