This book makes a clear break with previous transport texts and sets the policy debate within the widest possible framework of economic, social and environmental arguments in Europe. Although about transport the book is based on a philosophy which regards transport as much more important than the consideration of movement, modes and networks in isolation. Transport is at the heart of current environmental concerns. Congestion in cities pollution, health damaging effects of traffic, privatization of transport infrastructure, social distribution of mobility, access to jobs and medical facilities and much more are all issues which have moved centre stage against the background of what will happen in Europe over the 1990s.
