    Synopsis

    This book is the "bible" of environmentally sensitive transport planning in Western cities. It provides a primer on the "green modes" of walking and cycling and describes theoretical considerations and illustrates practice in a variety of ways. This new edition is necessary to take account of changes, some of which were generated by the book itself, and developments in planning practice.
