      Sowohl regional als auch global spüren wir die vielgestaltigen Auswirkungen des alltäglichen Personenverkehrs. Peter Cox führt uns die zahlreichen Probleme hinsichtlich des Personentransports vor Augen und zeigt nachhaltige Alternativen für den Wunsch nach individueller Mobilität auf. Er beleuchtet die Bedeutung nicht-motorisierter Transportmöglichkeiten neu und wirft so Fragen zur Mobilität in Zeiten von Klimawandel und Energieknappheit auf, die nicht nur den Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländern neue Potenziale aufzeigen. Cox kommt zu der Erkenntnis, dass neue Transportlösungen nicht nur ökologisch und irtschaftlich nachweisbar sinnvoll sind, sondern auch die Verkehrsplanung und Lebensqualität von Städten positiver beeinflussen können, als bislang angenommen. Dieses Buch bietet neue, spannende Konzepte für Raumplanung, Raumordnung und Verkehrsgeographie. Es zeigt, dass eine moderne Gesellschaft konsequent nachhaltig ›in Bewegung‹ bleiben kann.
