I. Modern urban transport and the challenge of sustainable transport -- pt. II. Foundations of community-owned transport -- pt. III. Community-owned transport practices -- pt. IV. Implications of community-owned transport.City and state governments around the world are struggling to achieve environmentally sustainable transport. Economic, technological, city and transport planning and human behaviour solutions are often hampered by ineffective implementation. So attention is now turning to institutional, governmental and political barriers. Approaches to these implementation problems assume that transport ownership can only be public (owned by state entities) or private (corporate or personal). Another option - largely unexplored to date - is communal ownership of transport. Community-Owned Transport proposes and develops the notion that communal ownership has a historical basis and provides unique opportunities for providing personal mobility. It looks at the historical roots of modern urban transport's failings as those of technological change and the associated governing of transport systems, particularly the role of public sector institutions. Community ownership is explored through the new 'sharing economy' developments - car sharing, ridesharing and bicycle share schemes - and older social innovations in ecovillages and communal living. Models and practices of community ownership of transport are provided and this study also discusses how community ownership might contribute to sustainable transport. Drawing widely on different disciplines and fields of scholarship, this book explores the conceptual and practical aspects of communal ownership of transport. It will be a valuable resource for those seeking innovative approaches to addressing the pressing problems of transport, including graduate and postgraduate students, as well as policymakers, practitioners and community groups.Transport and mobility series.Urban transportationLocal transitCooperative societiesPublic-private sector cooperationCommunity developmentUrban transportation.Local transit.Cooperative societies.Public-private sector cooperation.Community development.388.4/042Glover Leigh983080MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910149532603321Community-owned transport2243671UNINA
