Die Autoren formulieren hier eine optimistische Gegenthese zu der weitverbreiteten Meinung, daß die Globalisierung die Handlungsspielräume für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung vermindere. Sie zeigen konkrete Handlungsspielräume auf regionaler, nationaler und internationaler Ebene auf.

It is now widely accepted that transport is becoming increasingly unsustainable and that strong policy intervention is required to reduce both the growth in transport demand and the environmental costs of transport. This book challenges conventional approaches to transport by moving away from trend based analysis towards the use of scenarios to identify alternative sustainable transport futures. It both summaries the development of EU transport policy and presents a critique. The policy context is widened to include the global changes taking place in economics, society and technology. It develops new methodologies for policy making for the next 25 years.
