Sustainable Urban Transport

How will these resources help you?

Transport is at the centre of any urban sustainability initiative, yet success in making our movement sustainable is often elusive. These resources discuss how we must not settle for the dominance of the car and dare to dream of an alternative and offer a series of case studies of success stories worldwide that show that delivering a sustainable transport system is possible. The ideas of contested space and how places change is central here, encouraging GCSE students to evaluate with AO3 and A-level students with AO2/3. These serve as excellent secondary research sources for fieldwork, as well as examples of climate change mitigation. London is a good example, rated third in Europe for its bus system. Students may find the series of ‘megaprojects’ of the future especially engaging – they can critically assess their sustainability, not just environmentally but also socially and economically.
