Transport, Environment and Society

Abstract

This eleventh volume in the Introducing Social Policy series focuses on the growth in road transport, especially the car. The author develops ideas relating to the transition from public to private transport and how that has transformed the lives of those who drive, as well as having an impact on the built environment in terms of land-use planning, urban design and community living. Other consequences include health impacts, disabling traffic accidents, social exclusion of non-drivers, and impact on disabled and older people with a reduced public transport system. Also discussed are issues of public policy and environmental concerns. Written primarily for social science students, this book is also key reading for environmental and transport studies students who need to understand the impact of transport on society.
