By drawing on the experience of London, Bristol, Cambridge and other European towns, we can have cleaner and more pleasant places to live, and a more sustainable economy. The book is accessibly written, and is a must-read for the interested lay person as well as those involved in transport and urban planning.

MEDIA REVIEWS
"Reducing our dependence on motor traffic is not only good for the environment, it's good for us too - and this exciting, evidence-based analysis shows where and how it's already being done." -- Caroline Lucas, Green Party
"Phil Goodwin's Foreword raises the question of how we should sequence the components of a sustainable transport policy, if unable to afford all at once. To this I would add the question how we can achieve better correspondence between housing and transport policies. The achievement of this book is to raise such matters in an accessible (and affordable!) format - and to cast significant light on where the answers might be found." -- Alan Wenban-Smith * Local Transport Today *
"`A fresh perspective on urban transport - and a good look at London's progress" -- Sir Peter Hendy, Commissioner of Transport for London."
