Preface; Introduction: Conceptual framework for developing future mobility, Regine Gerike, Friederike Hülsmann and Katrin Roller; Part I Activity Patterns in Different Contexts: The role of street network connectivity and access to everyday facilities in shaping everyday walking and cycling in English cities, Tim Jones, Dave Horton, Caroline Mullen, Colin Pooley, Griet Scheldeman, Emanuele Strano and Miles Tight; Transport rationales - the link between residential location and travel behaviour, Peter Næss; Spatial (mis)match and its consequences for mode choices, Veronique Van Acker, Ben Derudder and Frank Witlox; Gender roles between traditionalism and change: time use for out-of-home activities and trips in Germany, 1994-2008, Joachim Scheiner. Part II Models for Sustainability: Air pollution hotspots in urban areas - how effective are pricing strategies to comply with the EU limits for NO2?, Friederike Hülsmann, Benjamin Kickhöfer and Regine Gerike; Do parking measures contribute to a sustainable transportation system?, Peter van der Waerden and Harry Timmermans; Using trajectory data to estimate energy consumption for routing purposes, Karin Kraschl-Hirschmann, Raphael Luz, Martin Fellendorf and Stefan Hausberger; Consumer response to accumulated transport charges: developing single attribute mixture-amount preference experiments, Elaheh Khademi, Gamze Dane, Harry Timmermans and Dujuan Yang; Mobility biographies: studying transport and travel behaviour through life histories, Andrew Miles, Niamh Moore and Stewart Muir. Part III Innovative Strategies: MobiMart: pilot test for a sustainable mobility credit system in Bologna, Katrin Dziekan, Giuseppe Liguori and Dora Ramazzotti; Status quo and perspectives for carsharing systems: the example of DriveNow, Johanna Kopp, Regine Gerike and Kay W. Axhausen; The social sustainability of urban transport: a contemporary reflection on social inclusion and social exclusion in the context of urban disaster, Margaret Grieco; MaxSumo and MaxEva: tools for measuring the success of mobility management projects, Fred Dotter; Index.
Summary: "Sustainable mobility is a qualitative, vague and normative vision. Although this vagueness is often criticized and seen as a drawback it also allows diverse stakeholders to commit to the goal of sustainable mobility. It allows for consensus, which can also help achieve a transport system that enables mobility for current and future generations. The goal of sustainable mobility is an ambitious one and requires a long-term and process-oriented perspective. With this in mind, this volume examines sustainable mobilities from multiple angles varying by time, region, cultural and economic backgrounds, local stakeholders and governance structures."--Provided by publisher.
