Summary: "Today's world is increasingly urban and increasingly mobile. This presents many challenges to planners, not least in how to reconcile cities' dependence on mobility with the unsustainability of present urban mobility patterns. This innovative textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to planning for mobility, bringing together both transport planning and urban planning for a more complete response to the challenges of today. Written by one of the leading transport academics in Europe, and based on years of research in the field, this book shows how mobility planning offers solutions to transport challenges in the 21st century. It argues that if the challenges facing mobility in modern metropolises are to be tackled, it is essential that urban planning becomes more aware of mobility needs and that transport planning takes greater account of the implications of quality of place. Engagingly and clearly written, this text will prove essential reading for students of urban planning looking for a state-of-the-art introduction to the field and to the key issues and dilemmas facing transport planners"--Publisher's description.
