This series focuses on material derived from the substantial ongoing research worldwide. Titles link the themes of transport, development and sustainability to other policy areas such as competitiveness, environment, cohesion, integration or social policy. All scales of decision-making and policy in transport are covered from the EU to the global, and from the EU to the national, regions and cities. Case study material covers modes of transport, participation, pollution, development and regeneration to illustrate their main themes.
