*Urban Transport - without the hot air: Volume 1 Sustainable solutions for
UK cities* by Steve Melia is the latest book in the best-selling without
the hot air® series, published 4th June 2015. Like other books in the
series, *Urban Transport* cuts through the hype and takes a balanced look
at the facts of a much-debated issue.
This book begins with ten questions, revealing some of the myths that have
influenced politicians and transport planners as well as the general
public. Has there really been a war on the motorist? Is better public
transport the solution to congestion in cities? Does building more roads
ease congestion and boost the economy? After revealing the often surprising
facts, the book finishes with a look at sustainable solutions, with
suggestions for what each of us can do.
Dr Steve Melia lectures in transport and planning at the University of the
West of England, Bristol. He advised two government departments on how to
achieve more sustainable transport in the Eco-towns programme, and the
Olympic Legacy Company on the transport planning of the London Olympic Park.
