Road passenger and freight transport in Europe and North America is increasing at an alarming rate, and it is the view of many people that we are reaching a point where the environment will be damaged beyond repair. This study of this impending crisis in the western world, takes a look at transport past and present by examining current European and American transport structures and policies in the light of sustainability and the environment and the social and economic consequences of the present trends. Covering 200 years from the canal age and the rail revolution to the rise of the car, this revised edition is expanded to provide an international dimension on the subject. |
