Sommario/riassunto |
|
This text offers a thoughtful critique of existing methodology and policy, raising issues, providing facts, explaining linkages and stimulating debate. Transport choices must be changed if we are to cope with sustainability and climate change but that may only be done if we understand how the whole transport system works. |
