'Curtis and the impressive cast of international researchers have written a comprehensive resource at the forefront of sustainable transport scholarship. Early on, this text establishes a sustainable framework and makes the case for why the automobile, while transformative, has not been utilized in a sustainable way under the previous paradigm. Then, the book evaluates the wide swath of legacy, new, and emerging transportation options and how they measure up against sustainability metrics. One particularly outstanding contribution is the wide-ranging treatment of land use and the built environment and their critical and symbiotic role in supporting a modal shift. This will be a resource for students, practitioners, and scholars around the globe interested in meeting the challenge of creating sustainable transport systems.'
