{"product_id":"transport-climate-change-and-the-robin-hickman-9780415660037","title":"Transport, Climate Change and the City","description":"\u003cp\u003eSustainable travel behaviours have long been sought after in cities around the world, particularly in industrialised countries, but also increasingly in the emerging cities of Asia, South America and Africa. Progress however appears difficult to make as the private car, still largely fuelled by petrol or diesel, remains the mainstream mode of use. Transport is the key sector where carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are difficult to reduce. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book seeks to develop achievable low CO2 emission futures for transport in a range of international case studies. The aim is that the scenarios as developed, and the consideration of implementation and transition issues, can help us plan for and achieve attractive future lifestyles at the city level, rather than 'sleepwalk' into climate change difficulties, oil scarcity, poor qualities of life, and to continue with the large casualty figures. High fuel prices in the future may mean that parts of our cities and wider regions become redundant and residents suffer from low levels of accessibility. The topic is thus critical, with transport viewed as central to the achievement of the sustainable city and reduced CO2 emissions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's original content and presentation draws on contemporary culture to demonstrate the need for a wider and more transparent debate on future travel behaviours and lifestyles, acceptability and implementability, and the potential for using different means to sell a different but attractive future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Hickman, David Banister\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415660033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415660037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.82d","brand":"Robin Hickman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119691526399,"sku":"9780415660037","price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e94b9b89-3158-4b2f-b136-56d4763adcfe.jpg?v=1687410468","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transport-climate-change-and-the-robin-hickman-9780415660037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
