Using research from multiple disciplinary perspectives, the book demonstrates ways in which human, economic and environmental health are improved with a slowing of city transport. It identifies effective methods, strategies and policies for decreasing the speed of motorised traffic and encouraging a modal shift to walking, cycling and public transport. This book also offers a holistic assessment of the impact of speed on daily behaviours and life choices, and shows how a move to slow down will - perhaps surprisingly - increase accessibility to the city services and activities that support healthy, sustainable lives and cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Tranter, Rodney Tolley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128153164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128153161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsevier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.86d","brand":"Paul Tranter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46024797061375,"sku":"9780128153161","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3bccdd3-d57f-4ce6-a29c-960584b847d9.jpg?v=1723129230","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slow-cities-paul-tranter-9780128153161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
