Sustainable Mobility in Metropolitan Regions

This book is focussing on the results of the mobil.LAB Doctoral Research Group Sustainable mobility in the metropolitan region of Munich for its first phase. It highlights the key findings of young scientists from diverse disciplines on selected issues of sustainable mobility, such as neighbourhood mobility, sustainable modes, regional governance and spatial aspects. This includes insights of methods used to assess sustainable mobility, the way how to study and how to conceptualize sustainable development in each of the contributions. Each chapter is built on case studies in cooperation with practice partners and based on empirical data in the metropolitan region of Munich. Moreover, a common understanding of sustainable mobility in metropolitan regions and future research perspectives on mobility cultures are developed. In consequence, the knowledge and experiences are shared in order to generate strategies and actions to address, promote and support sustainable mobility in metropolitan regions. ContentsIntroduction.- Innovative Policy Approaches.- Specific Target Groups.- Options of Change.- Conclusions and OutlookTarget GroupsResearchers, students and business professionals interested in mobility, urban transport planning and regional governanceThe EditorsProf. Dr.-Ing.
