This book explores how gender is a determining factor shaping mobilities in the global South. It examines why women and girls often face more barriers to safe, affordable, and accessible transport, and how these barriers limit their opportunities for education, work, and participation in society. Drawing on research from multiple countries, contributors investigate how history, politics, economics, and culture influence daily journeys, from walking to using public transport, and even migrating across borders. The book challenges the dominance of global North perspectives in mobility studies, calling for new theories and solutions that reflect the realities of the global South. It combines academic research with practical insights, showing how transport planning, infrastructure, and policies can become more inclusive. Ultimately, it argues that incorporating a gender perspective in transport policy and planning at different levels is key to eliminating inequalities. This is a key resource for researchers in transport and mobility studies, geography, urban planning and development studies interested in gender and transport-related inequalities in low and middle-income countries. Furthermore, it provides actionable frameworks and examples for policy makers and NGOs in transport and gender equity.

In this ground-breaking book Aharon Kellerman explores a rapidly developing aspect of contemporary life: automated and autonomous spatial mobilities and their social and urban implications. Distinguishing between automation, or self-doing, and autonomy, or self-government, at both the conceptual and practical levels, this book also draws a distinction between spatial mobility and automated spatial mobility. Automation processes for transportation and communications media and their controls are discussed in light of these differences.Presenting a wide-ranging discussion on autonomous vehicle (AV) development and its future adoption, as well as of social and spatial dimensions of the AV-age, this highly topical book points to the emergence of autonomously mobile cities and the new mobility landscapes they will present. Academics, as well as practitioners, in the fields of mobility, transportation, urban planning, geography and sociology will find this an essential read.

For cities investing in public transit infrastructure, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) continues to grow as a popular mode of choice. BRT implementation, planning, operation, performance and impacts, from a wide range of developed and developing cities across the globe are examined in depth in this exemplary book, with contributions by academics and practical experts on BRT.Each chapter is self-contained, presenting empirical research and grounded examples of BRT in specific urban spaces. Providing rich insight, the chapters also suggest lessons for cities elsewhere. As a whole, the book frames the chapters with the question of how BRT is valued, providing a timely lens to the broader conceptual question of how transport infrastructure can and ought to be valued in the twenty-first century. Urban and transport studies scholars will find this an invaluable read, as it compares BRT to similar forms of public transport in cities, exploring the pros and cons of the system. The rich set of empirical examples and research suggestions in this book will aid advanced students in determining dissertation and research topics.Contributors include: B. Adhvaryu, C. Balbontin, G. Beaudet, D. Bray, C. Cadena-Gaitán, W. Camargo, T.-T. Deng, R. Ellison, F. Ferbrache, D.A. Hensher, O. Hjelm, C.Q. Ho, M.-J. Jun, P. Lewis, R. Macário, S. Mejía-Dugand, C. Mulley, J.D. Nelson, D.

Decision-makers within the mobility, transport and logistics sector need to account for a wide range of conflicting information from actors with varied backgrounds and interests. This book presents Multi Actor Multi Criteria Analysis (MAMCA) developed by Professor Cathy Macharis, designed to involve and empower stakeholders within these sectors at all stages of the decision-making process.This comprehensive work draws on 15 years of research, during which MAMCA has been deployed to support sustainable decisions within the transport and mobility sectors. Contrary to traditional approaches in the area, the MAMCA methodology pushes stakeholder perspectives to the forefront of analysis using a co-construction approach, making the methodology unique within the group-decision making literature.Based on a strong record of both theoretical and real-life applications in the context of mobility, transport and logistics, this book provides decision-makers, managers and practitioners with the tools to use, understand and replicate the MAMCA methodology.Contributors include: S. Balm, S. Basbas, G. Baudry, E. Chojnacka, K. De Brucker, M. Dean, D. Górecka, R. Hickman, C. Macharis, D. Meers, H.B. Rai, A. Roukouni, G. te Boveldt, T. van Lier, K. Van Raemdonck, T. Vallée

This book provides new dimensions and a contemporary focus on sustainable transport, urban regeneration and development in eight countries spanning four continents at different stages of development. It examines the role of transit oriented development (TOD) in improving urban sustainability and providing different transport choices, exploring how these can be implemented in modern cities. Establishing a new agenda for TOD, experts in the field critically evaluate the links between urban transport investment and economic, social and environmental sustainability, introducing new methods of analysis. Chapters explore international dimensions of TOD, providing crucial insight to issues such as uneven development, transport emissions, global warming, car dependence and the challenge of powering vehicles with sustainable fuels. Urban and regional planning, transport studies and environmental management scholars seeking to understand urban sustainability issues will benefit from this timely book. It will also prove to be a valuable read for urban planners and research consultants looking to widen their knowledge of the role of TOD in enhancing urban sustainability.

Maritime transport is a constantly evolving critical transport mode, thoroughly explored in this timely book from a geographical perspective. Chapters cover maritime shipping markets, territories of maritime shipping, institutional dimensions, and environmental and future challenges.With contributions from researchers in a range of disciplines, including geography, economics, law and spatial planning, as well as practitioners, the book emphasizes the wide-ranging interest in and impacts of maritime transport. Offering empirically rich studies of historical and contemporary geographies of maritime transport, this book also looks ahead to the importance of adaptation and of questioning the effects of the continued economization of maritime transport.Geography, transport economics, logistics and management scholars will appreciate the thorough case studies and in-depth analyses of the topics offered in the book. It will also benefit industry and government representatives looking for a broader understanding of the recent evolution of maritime transport in a globalizing world.Contributors include: M.

This innovative book tackles one of the 21st century’s most urgent challenges: steering transport systems toward a socially just, low-carbon future. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Kate Pangbourne explores transport governance across multiple modes, scales and sectors, from local streets to global shipping and aviation, to formulate practical and strategic guidance. Drawing on original empirical research, chapters discuss governance structures, processes and the need to integrate diverse perspectives and knowledge in collaborative settings. Central to the book is the CATI Transition Momentum Framework, which is designed to help identify leverage points for accelerating change. Pangbourne combines theory-building with practical applications to foster collaboration, equity and resilience in an era of polycrisis. Transport Governance for a Future is an essential resource for students and academics in transport studies and human geography, and has important insights for those in economics, politics and public policy, public administration and management and environmental studies. It is also a useful guide for practitioners and policymakers involved in global transport governance.
