Handbook of Sustainable Mobility Futures and Society

With the emergence of sustainable mobility as a major priority for contemporary societies, this timely volume presents an interdisciplinary synthesis of evidence, insights and informed projections from leading academics. The Handbook examines transport systems as they face unprecedented challenges from climate change, urban congestion, air pollution, resource depletion and social inequality, forcing us to rethink how mobility should function.Expert contributing authors examine how AI and climate change are fundamentally reshaping multi-modal transport provision, demonstrating that the scale of transformation required goes beyond discrete infrastructure, technology and policy interventions. Chapters explore how transport systems and travel behaviour norms should be managed so that mobility becomes a facilitator of sustainable urban and rural development. Delivering scholarly insight on topics such as people-based everyday mobility, electric and automated transport, as well as planning and logistics, this comprehensive Handbook decodes the core priorities for building better transport and societies in the future. The Handbook of Sustainable Mobility Futures and Society is a valuable resource for academics and research students in transport studies, geography and sustainable development seeking to develop a better understanding of sustainable mobility transitions. It will also benefit engineers, planners and practitioners in the field.
