Experimenting for Sustainable Transport: The approach of Strategic Niche Management
Experimenting for Sustainable Transport: The Approach of Strategic Niche Management, by Remco Hoogma, René Kemp, Johan Schot, and Bernhard Truffer, examines how technological and social experiments can contribute to the transition toward more sustainable transport systems. The book develops and applies the concept of Strategic Niche Management (SNM) as an approach for understanding and managing the emergence of innovative transport technologies and practices. It focuses on protected or experimental spaces in which new mobility technologies, organizational arrangements, and user practices can be developed, tested, and refined before becoming more widely adopted. The authors explore how learning processes, social networks, expectations, and institutional support influence the development of sustainable transport innovations. The book also considers the challenges involved in moving promising innovations beyond experimental niches and into broader transportation regimes. By connecting innovation studies with sustainability transitions and transport research, the work provides a framework for understanding how experimentation can facilitate long-term changes in transport systems. Overall, the book highlights the role of strategic experimentation and niche development in fostering technological, institutional, and societal change toward more sustainable mobility.
