Unsustainable Transport: City Transport in the New Century de David Banister

Unsustainable Transport: City Transport in the New Century: Transport, Development and Sustainability Series

Autor David Banister
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mai 2005
This book addresses the links between transport and sustainable urban development, from an analysis of the global picture to issues in transport and energy intensity, public policy and the institutional and organisational constraints on change. The central part of the book explores these links in more detail at city level, covering land use and development, economic measures, and the role that technology can play. The final part looks for inspiration from events in developing countries and the means by which we can move from the unsustainable present to a more sustainable future.

'This brilliant analysis of the crucially important issue of sustainability further reinforces Banister's reputation as one of the world's leading authorities on the topic.  He provides a thorough, highly informative, up-to-date examination of the problems and alternative solutions to transport's current unsustainability, including proposals for practical strategies to implement the necessary policy measures.' -Professor John Pucher, Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA
'This is a very important book. One of its great strengths is that is the first time a transport specialist has made the connection between sustainable cities and sustainable transport. The author explores the need not only to pursue  technological innovation but the need to change our institutional structures, social behaviour and the ways we live and work if we wish to seriously pursue the notion of sustainable cities. The book eschews the apocalyptic tone adopted by many writers and equally rejects the familiar physical determinist position taken by most transport specialists. This is a balanced exploration of the fundamental issues raised by pursuit of sustainability policy. The book should be read by all those who are concerned about urban issues and especially those who want to take part in an informed discussion of sustainability.' -Professor Patrick Troy, Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies, Australian National University
'The definitive contribution to this centrally important topic, which will remain the standard work for years to come.' -Professor Sir Peter Hall, Institute of Community Studies, University College London
'An excellent review of the subject area, and offers an up-to-date analysis of the problems which cities face.' - Environment and Planning B
