Details:
Sustainable mobility is a broad, normative vision that remains somewhat vague, which, despite criticism, enables diverse stakeholders to rally around the goal of ensuring mobility for both current and future generations. This vagueness fosters consensus, making it easier to work towards a transportation system that embodies sustainability.

This volume explores sustainable mobilities from various perspectives, considering factors such as time, region, cultural and economic backgrounds, local stakeholders, and governance structures. The book delves into understanding mobility behavior and needs in different contexts, proposing innovative strategies and advancing modeling approaches for evaluating these strategies.

Rather than presenting a one-size-fits-all solution for achieving sustainable mobility, the book highlights innovations across various disciplines and fields, demonstrating how each contributes to maintaining mobility for all people—both today and in the future.
