Sustainable Transport and Mobility Handbook

The Sustainable Transport and Mobility Handbook is the definitive guide for the broader transport sector that deals with issues of sustainability, efficiency and the environment.

Edited by Llewellyn van Wyk and packed with contributions from South Africa’s leading industry experts and researchers, The Handbook provides sector stakeholders with practical insights into the issues, challenges and the solutions. The forces associated with climate change are now accompanied by increased policy and regulation that is changing the way that we approach the movement of goods, services and people in South Africa. However we are now also required to focus on the concept of access, which at some level competes with the notion of increasing mobility. Integrated planning has now become an essential component of the sustainable city.

Volume 2 of the Sustainable Transport and Mobility Handbook draws from the success of Volume 1 and from the Sustainable Transport and Mobility Conference held at Gallagher Estate. The publications profile is further increased within academic, research and consulting circles with the advent of a Peer-Review Board which that reviewed, approved and submitted for publication no less than 8 of the approximately 16 chapters in the Handbook, thereby offering more value for industry and professional readers. This means that the publication can be more widely recommended (and used) as a reference source and as a learning text for related education institutions, providing more value for readers and advertisers.
