Geographies of Transport and Mobility (eBook, ePUB)

Prospects and Challenges in an Age of Climate Change

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Geographies of Transport and Mobility provides a comprehensive account of the challenges for personal mobility in the 21st century. It plots the intricate relationship between new forms of mobile technology, urban planning and social practices. It examines how researchers study transport and mobility through an exploration of the different trajectories of transport geography and its relationship to the mobilities paradigm. It then discusses the discourse of sustainable mobility, focusing on the paradigm of behavioural change and urban design. The book builds a set of narratives for analysing personal mobility within the context of likely major social transformations driven by climate change.
