'This book is very welcome indeed and takes us far beyond the usual discourse around sustainable transport. It is about change and the how and why change happens and pulls no punches about the urgent need for change in transport policy and practice. A very informative and eloquent story is woven around the nature of change, the importance of persistent paradigms, barriers to change, the role of institutions, individual and networks. It also tells us what kind of change is needed. Now this story is out in the open there is a much better chance that we will all begin to experience the many benefits of sustainable transport in delivery rather than read about it in academic text books.' John Whitelegg, University of York, UK 'That genuinely sustainable transport systems require transformative changes in government policy settings is surely incontrovertible. This exemplary and innovative study uncomfortably documents the historically ingrained road-fixated policy culture which stands in the way. Only by critically challenging and comprehensively rethinking this institutional milieu can cities transition from path dependent to path breaking transport policies.'
