Reviews
A must read book that shows why transport really matters. Wide-ranging research highlights how transport enables and constrains economic development and personal mobility and has serious environmental impacts Richard Knowles, University of Salford and University of Huddersfield
A well-thumbed copy of this book should be on every transport minister's desk. It shows why transport is such a key policy tool of government and explains why it is so rarely used well. Christian Wolmar, Transport writer and broadcaster This lively collection of essays, by some of the key thinkers in the field, will be of central interest to all those concerned with the role that transport plays in modern social and economic life. Ron Martin, University of Cambridge Essential reading for students and practitioners who will be thankful for this well-written, comprehensive and delightful coverage of the transport policy space. Jim Steer, Director of Steergroup This book examines the unprecedented challenges and opportunities of the 'transport question' in a time of vast technological and social change, and is rightly focused on societal ends, not means. It could not be more essential reading for every planner and decision-maker involved in choosing the future we want for our communities. Lord Taylor, Chair of UK government policy reviews of Planning Practice Guidance and Rural Economy and Housing
