Discourses on Sustainable Urban Mobility

---

This book examines the challenges of achieving sustainable urban mobility and transforming transportation systems in cities around the world. Robin Hickman critically analyzes the dominant discourse of motorization and the difficulties associated with implementing sustainable transport policies. Using discourse analysis informed by Michel Foucault\\\'s theoretical concepts, the book explores how historical developments, political power, social structures, cultural values, and urban planning practices shape transportation systems and travel behavior. It presents 20 international case studies, including Oxford, Singapore, Bogotá, Copenhagen, Shenzhen, Medellín, and Portland, to illustrate different approaches to urban mobility and transport planning. The book also investigates issues related to car dependency, public transportation, walking, cycling, street design, social equity, and environmental sustainability. By comparing the experiences of different cities, it highlights the importance of context-specific strategies and inclusive planning in developing more sustainable urban transport systems. This book provides valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, urban planners, transportation professionals, and students interested in sustainable mobility, urban development, and transport policy.
