Beskrivning

Ideal for researchers and practitioners looking for fresh approaches to transport problems, this book combines cutting-edge qualitative and quantitative knowledge to inform transport futures. It uses engaging case studies of the Banjul Airport Expansion in The Gambia, and the Interstate 35 development project in Austin, US to show how and why a transdisciplinary approach can result in better planning decisions.As cities grow, shrink, and re-organize, with access provided by transport infrastructure, this book demonstrates the value of critical realism to create lasting, positive impacts on society and the environment.

“This book shines a light on upstream approaches to transportation project challenges—which can perpetuate the ‘solutions’ that not only never quite work, but often make the problems worse.” Marc Schlossberg, University of Oregon
