Then let things happen.\" Sir Peter Hall, Professor of Urban Planning, once gave this advice on planning cities for a sustainable future.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In research and politics, 'right' is increasingly coming to mean 'sustainable.' There is a wide consensus that transport is a crucial component of sustainability efforts and an approximate agreement about what measures make transport more sus-tainable. However, there is still debate on what sustainability is and what form of society it necessitates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf policy is an expression of what is considered 'right', and getting the transport right will enable sustainable cities, then just what is right or sustainable in Stockholm can be read in transport policy proposals. By paying attention to what proposed measures may do, we can consider the direction of sustainability. That is, for what is transport being made right?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis thesis explores the discursive construction of sustainability in policy for transport in Stockholm between 2007-2017. It does so by treating transport as a governing technology, and searching policy for what solutions are proposed to make transport right and what problems these imply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than asking what transport policy should do, this thesis explores the way that transport is literally and discursively constructed in policy - and to what effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mathilde Rehnlund\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9188663744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789188663740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sodertorn University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Mathilde Rehnlund","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454093439231,"sku":"9789188663740","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7adc153-5318-4d3f-a42f-ad85feade446.jpg?v=1777304129","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/getting-the-transport-right-mathilde-rehnlund-9789188663740","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
