Zusatztext This exciting book offers a much-needed approach to understanding transitions in everyday mobility, grounded in mobilities thinking and informed by numerous case-studies worldwide. Rather than offering a generic framework, it examines mobility transitions on their own terms in a manner that is at once social, political and geographical, and highlights the importance of power and justice. A must-read for every student, researcher and policymaker wondering how transport can move beyond its carbon dependence.

Klappentext Drawing on an innovative project exploring current mobility transition policies and practices in 14 countries around the world, including key institutions such as the European Union and the United Nations, this book provides a critique of current transitions, mobility and transport policies. The authors consider how our mobility futures have been imagined, what they will potentially look and feel like, what lives we might live in them and what choices we might have to make to get there.
