In a series of highly accessible chapters, the book explains that transport matters: how and why effective and efficient transport is fundamental to all manner of public policy goals. Contributors explore how we ‘do’ transport, how this has significant social, economic and environmental consequences, and how we could do things differently to promote a happier, healthier and more economically secure future for all of us.
