Building Blocks for Sustainable Transport : Obstacles, Trends, Solutions.
Achieving sustainable transport requires more than 'optimal' management of congestion and the effects on public health and the environment. This book is organized into three sections, each discussing a major set of challenges to the transition to a sustainable transport system.
