The local and global environmental impacts of transport are
more apparent than ever before. This book provides an
attention-grabbing introduction to sustainable transport
development in practice via a series of case studies.
Re-assessing the value and importance of non-motorized
transport raises questions about the whole nature of
development as a process. Advocating low impact technologies
and sustainable transport makes a practical contribution to
post-development discourses. This book offers a practical way
into the complexities of post-development theory.
