Download or read book Promoting Walking and Cycling written by Pooley, Colin G and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Promoting walking and cycling proposes solutions to one of the most pressing problems in contemporary British transport planning. The need to develop more sustainable urban mobility lies at the heart of energy and environmental policies and has major implications for the planning of cities and for the structure of economy and society. However, most people feel either unable or unwilling to incorporate travel on foot or by bike into their everyday journeys. This book uses innovative quantitative and qualitative research methods to examine in depth, and in an international and historical context, why so many people fail to travel in ways that are deemed by most to be desirable. It proposes evidence-based policy solutions that could increase levels of walking and cycling substantially. This book is essential reading for planners and policy makers developing and implementing transport policies at both national and local levels, plus researchers and students in the field of mobility, transport, sustainability and urban planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `…excellent reading for both undergraduate and post-graduate students studying gerontology… a collection of articles which adds considerable depth to our current knowledge in what is loosely known as `gerontology'.' - Australian Journal on Ageing `The book manages, as the editor claims, to examine a range of approaches, methodologies, and controversies within gerontology… I find the book a good exponent of the breadth and strength of British gerontology.' * Ageing and Society `Most of the chapters of this thought-provoking book deal with different aspects of ageing in the normal population, but several have implications for care of people with dementia.' - Journal of Dementia Care In recent years gerontology has both diversified and specialised to meet the complex challenge of an ageing society. This book aims specifically to reflect these developments, and includes expert contributions from the disciplines of geography, economics, sociology and social policy, psychology, and medicine. Contributions have been selected not only to highlight topics of particular concern, but also to illustrate the development and deployment of pragmatic responses. The chapters address important issues in lifestyle, health, adult education, ethnicity, pensions, policy development, residential care, and professional training. Attention also focuses on debate within gerontology, particularly in the areas of community care, dementing illness and health economics.

Book excerpt: Being socially and geographically mobile is generally seen as one of the central aspects of women's wellbeing. Alongside health, education and political participation, mobility is indispensable in order for women to reach goals such as agency and freedom. Building on new philosophical underpinnings of 'mobility', whereby society is seen to be framed by the convergence of various mobilities, this volume focuses on the intersection of mobility, social justice and gender. The authors reflect on five highly interdependent mobilities that form and reform social life: *

Download or read book Strategies for Sustainable Mobilities written by Friederike Hülsmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable mobility is a qualitative, vague and normative vision. Although this vagueness is often criticized and seen as a drawback it also allows diverse stakeholders to commit to the goal of sustainable mobility. It allows for consensus, which can also help achieve a transport system that enables mobility for current and future generations. The goal of sustainable mobility is an ambitious one and requires a long-term and process-oriented perspective. With this in mind, this volume examines sustainable mobilities from multiple angles varying by time, region, cultural and economic backgrounds, local stakeholders and governance structures. By achieving a better understanding of mobility behaviour and mobility needs in different contexts this book develops innovative strategies and advances modelling approaches which evaluate these strategies. Presented here is not an ideal package of strategies to achieve sustainable mobility but rather innovations in the different disciplines and fields to show how each of them can contribute to keeping all people mobile - today and in the future.
