The authors study empirical data from these three cities to analyze how specific governmental and policy instruments (planning, consultation and market mechanisms for example) were implemented in each case. Through concepts coming from policy studies and sociology, for example, such as path dependency, institutional culture and transaction costs, the three cities are also looked at in a broader perspective in order to better understand how they deal differently with their common challenges.Sociology, UrbanTransportation engineeringTraffic engineeringUrban geographyTransportationPolitical scienceUrban Studies/Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22250Transportation Technology and Traffic Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23120Urban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010Transportationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/119000Governance and Governmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911220Sociology, Urban.Transportation engineering.Traffic engineering.Urban geography.Transportation.Political science.Urban Studies/Sociology.Transportation Technology and Traffic Engineering.Urban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).Transportation.Governance and Government.388.40973Mercier Jeanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut341272Tremblay-Racicot Fannyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autCarrier Marioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDuarte Fábioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910337702903321Governance and Sustainable Urban Transport in the Americas2535497UNINA
