Funded Activity Summary

Beyond the Private Car: Personal Mobility Futures in Australia. Australian urban dwellers' reliance on the private car is a worsening dilemma for policy makers seeking more sustainable alternatives. The identification and nourishing of these alternatives is hindered by conceptual frameworks in which the private car is seen to be the only transport mode that offers independence and flexibility. This project breaks new ground in this transport conundrum in two ways. It develops a framework in which to understand how non-private-car transport forms sustain both individual independence and the environment. It provides evidence on the everyday and governance contexts in which individualised, non-private-car mobility can flourish.
