Reviews

"Overall, this book is a valuable addition to the sustainable urban transport literature in two ways. First, for readers who want to learn more about China, this book provides a comprehensive update on what has been implemented and is currently being implemented in this country, as several authors are actually policy executers in city governments. Second, this book is an excellent collection of practices and lessons from some major non-English speaking countries, such as Japan, Germany, and France. Therefore, the book reflects the geography of the diffusion and implementation of sustainable transport concepts." - James Wang, Department of Geography, University of Hong Kong.
