The Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Urban Transport offers a state of the art, comprehensive overview of sustainable transportation modes, impacts, technologies and policy. Over time, the economic benefits of transport have been overshadowed by negative externalities on the environment, public health and communities. Today, transport is one of the major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and with the growth in the number and size of cities, urban transport will be a critical infrastructure to develop sustainably.

Sustainable urban transport poses a key topic of debate for politicians, the public and transport providers worldwide, as legacy vehicle technologies, power sources, infrastructure and habitual human travel behaviours render the decarbonisation of local and global transport systems inherently challenging. Featuring contributions from world-leading, international scholars, the chapters examine concepts, issues and ideas across five topic areas that reflect the increasingly diverse nature of current research and thinking in sustainable urban transport: key features, impacts of transport in cities, urban transport modes, energy and innovative technologies, policy issues and instruments. Each chapter provides an overview of current knowledge, identifies issues, discusses the relevant debates in sustainable urban transport and seeks to put forward a future research agenda in the field. This handbook offers a single repository on the current state of knowledge, written from a practical perspective, utilising theory that is applied and developed using real-world examples.

The handbook is an essential reference for researchers, academics and students working in all areas of sustainable transportation, from policy and planning to technology, in addition to industry practitioners looking to develop their professional knowledge.

The COVID-19 pandemic showed how transport plays a role in societal responses to global events at all levels, from governments to transport operators and individuals. Transport and Pandemic Experiences consolidates these lessons from a range of geographies and practices.

Attard and Mulley bring together leading experts in the field, examining various entities in their response to the coronavirus pandemic, using the experience of COVID-19 to inform issues of resilience and policy. Chapters provide an in-depth analysis of how the impact of the pandemic varied between demographic groups and global location, between passenger and freight modes, highlighting how transport and travel behaviour changed. Along with providing an overview of policy responses to the pandemic from the freight and air transport sector, to analysing the development of working-from-home policies with their inherent effects on public transport, Transport and Pandemic Experiences discusses how the accumulated knowledge of the pandemic needs to be capitalised in our fight against climate change and helps to identify future research imperatives for better understanding and greater policy transferability.

The Transport and Sustainability series addresses the important nexus between transport and sustainability containing volumes dealing with a wide range of issues relating to transport, its impact in economic, social, and environmental spheres, and its interaction with other policy sectors.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are increasingly a core objective for policy makers, practitioners and citizens. Transport continues to be a core focus of these policy objectives, with Automated and Connected Transport (ACT) featuring as a potential solution to relevant challenges. Yet, there is still a lot to be achieved aside technological advancements. Sustainable Automated and Connected Transport highlights existing gaps and offers evidence-based recommendations for practitioners and policy makers to aid in meeting sustainability goals.

Contributions link documented challenges of Autonomous and Connected Transport with sustainability. Based not only on activities of the international WISE-ACT network, but also on input by external experts, findings of contemporary and ongoing research are summarised to offer evidence-based sustainability recommendations. Sustainable Automated and Connected Transport addresses all three sustainability pillars, namely social, environmental and economic, within a single volume.

Overall, Sustainable Automated and Connected Transport is a valuable source of ACT information for academics, practitioners and policy makers. Such a unified overview is beneficial to developing holistic research methods and global policies for making progress towards the SDGs.
