A critical analysis of transport systems and projects in a wide range of cities.

From reducing car dependency and expanding EVs to promoting public transport, sustainable mobility has been a hot topic in urban planning and the transportation sector. Arriving at this timely moment, Discourses on Sustainable Urban Mobility challenges the dominant discourses of motorization and the ineffective implementation of sustainable mobility. It argues that transport planning history is not merely a record of successful projects but a reflection of how transport has been provided, including who and what has been included or excluded. Using discourse analysis, the book examines physical transport infrastructure against the socially constructed realities in transport planning across a variety of international case studies, including Oxford, Bogotá, Chongqing, Rio de Janeiro, Copenhagen, and Delhi. In each case, the discursive frameworks surrounding transport and urban planning point toward promising pathways for achieving greater sustainability in transportation.
