Sustainable mobility is a term that summarises what is at stake in contemporary attempts to redress the balance of costs and benefits in the transport sector. It marks a shift away from the traditional transport planning approach, which conceptualised transport as a derived demand and as a support infrastructure for economic growth, towards a policy approach that is informed by evidence and risk assessment and which recognises the pitfalls of unconstrained growth.
