商品簡介
Docherty (management, U. of Glasgow, Scotland) and Shaw (human geography, Centre for Sustainable Transport, U. of Plymouth, UK) assemble 11 chapters that analyze the UK government's sustainable transport policy 10 years after the publication of the White Paper A New Deal for Transport: Better for Everyone in 1998, which emphasized sustainability. They note that although the report analyzed problems in transport policy, much has yet to be done to solve them. Chapters assess policies for each mode of transport (roads, railways, buses, air travel, and shipping), and examine comparative issues between London and other regions in the country, and the UK and the rest of Europe. Contributors are scholars of transport and geography in the UK. The volume is aimed at scholars, students, planners, policy analysts, and policy makers. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
