Summary

What is the meaning of 'sustainability' in terms transport? Is there a European common transport policy? To what extent is policy relevant for transport developments? What is the contribution of European transport research?This volume brings together leading European experts in transport policy to address these questions. Together, they provide an understanding of the dynamics surrounding policy formulation and implementation and of the various conflicts of interests underlying these processes. They question the inherent contradictions of 'ecological' transport policy and examine the role of both the public and academia in determining future transport developments. The book also develops strategic visions for the future which can assist in the creation of relevant measures towards sustainable mobility and will be a key work for academics, researchers and policy makers.
