Community-Owned Transport: Transport and Mobility
Autor Leigh Gloveren Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 noi 2016
Community-Owned Transport proposes and develops the notion that communal ownership has a historical basis and provides unique opportunities for providing personal mobility. It looks at the historical roots of modern urban transport’s failings as those of technological change and the associated governing of transport systems, particularly the role of public sector institutions. Community ownership is explored through the new ‘sharing economy’ developments – car sharing, ridesharing and bicycle share schemes – and older social innovations in ecovillages and communal living. Models and practices of community ownership of transport are provided and this study also discusses how community ownership might contribute to sustainable transport.
Drawing widely on different disciplines and fields of scholarship, this book explores the conceptual and practical aspects of communal ownership of transport. It will be a valuable resource for those seeking innovative approaches to addressing the pressing problems of transport, including graduate and postgraduate students, as well as policymakers, practitioners and community groups.

Descriere
City and state governments worldwide are struggling to achieve environmentally sustainable transport. Until now, it has been assumed that transport ownership can only be public or private.
This book claims that communal ownership provides unique opportunities for providing personal mobility. Community ownership is explored through the new ‘sharing economy’ developments - car sharing, ridesharing and bicycle share schemes - and older social innovations in eco-villages and communal living. Models and practices of community ownership of transport are given and it also discusses how community ownership might contribute to sustainable transport.
