I’m very glad to share that our book
Social Issues in Transport Planning
is finally published! Info about where to get the book
here.

The book, co-edited by Geneviève Boisjoly (
École Polytechnique de Montréal) and me, was published by Elsevier as part of the
Advances in Transport Policy and Planning series, organized by Bert van Wee.

We have gathered established scholars and rising stars to present an up-to-date and critical review of some of the most pressing and sometimes overlooked social issues in transport planning. The book covers a diverse range of topics such as transport poverty and car dependence, transit-induced gentrification, accessibility, gender, race, children’s mobility, the governance of paratransit, equity in project appraisal as well as customer satisfaction with public transport, and the potential of research methodologies in promoting more inclusive and participatory transport planning (see list of chapters and authors below).

In the preface we present a summary of the book, and reflect on what makes a social issues worthy of public attention in the transport planning process. In essence, any social issue only becomes recognized as a social problem inasmuch as its manifestation goes against our understanding of how ethics should be applied to transport planning and against our aspirations of justice with regards to equity, democracy and diversity.
