Towards Sustainable Transport and Mobility: Perspectives on Travelling and Commuting in Small Island States
owards Sustainable Transport and Mobility: Perspectives on Travelling and Commuting in Small Island States, edited by Julia R. Kotzebue, explores the challenges and opportunities surrounding sustainable transport and mobility in small island states. The book examines how geographical isolation, limited land availability, economic constraints, population distribution, and dependence on particular modes of transportation influence everyday travelling and commuting in island contexts. It considers transport not only as an infrastructural issue but also as a social, environmental, and economic dimension of sustainable development. Particular attention is given to the mobility experiences and practices of local communities, as well as the relationship between transport systems, accessibility, environmental sustainability, and quality of life. By bringing together perspectives on travelling and commuting, the book highlights the complexity of achieving sustainable mobility in small island states and emphasizes the importance of context-sensitive transport policies and planning. Overall, the work contributes to discussions of sustainable development by examining how transport and mobility systems can become more accessible, environmentally responsible, and responsive to the specific needs of island communities.
