A Research Agenda for Transport Equity and Mobility Justice
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-80220-187-1 (ISBN)
Who can travel freely? Whose mobility is restricted? What other inequities contribute to and arise from these differences in movement? Taking a truly global approach, this Research Agenda tackles these questions in settings from London to Hanoi, and Chicago to eThekwini, and transport modes from motorbikes to cars to pedestrians to cyclists.
With a look towards new technologies and transitions, this Research Agenda encourages deep thinking about how traditional ways of providing mobility create power imbalances and entrench existing inequalities. By considering individual experiences and questioning long-held assumptions, chapter authors suggest how we can transform our transport systems to be more just, and to deliver their economic, social, and environmental benefits more widely and equitably.
This book is a critical read for those across the social sciences interested in transport and mobilities including human geography, urban planning, anthropology and sociology scholars, as well as those working in the field of transport more broadly looking to better understand the importance of transport equity.
