Exploring the crucial shift towards sustainable transport, this book examines how we can ensure safe and efficient movement of people and goods without compromising future mobility.
Transport, while vital to humanity, currently generates negative externalities that can offset its benefits. This necessitates a paradigm shift in how we approach transport systems. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of sustainable transport, from its conceptual foundations and current achievements to future perspectives. Grounded in original research, the book introduces concepts such as 'Sustainability 2.0' and 'sustainable infrastructure', offering new pathways for achieving this paradigm shift. It also examines diverse global transport developments, focusing particularly on the European Union and Romania and utilising Romania's recent EU integration and its experience building integrated transport systems to offer valuable comparative insights.
Presenting arguments and providing solutions for steering transport towards sustainable development at both micro- and macro-levels, this book will be invaluable for students, academics, researchers, policymakers, transport professionals and anyone with an interest in the current state and future of sustainable transport.
