{"product_id":"the-transport-debate-9781847428561","title":"The Transport Debate","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt a time when transport is high on the political agenda and government decision-making is being vigorously scrutinised, there is a need for an incisive and accessible analysis of the key policy issues. This book is a highly readable introduction to the transport debate from two experts in the field. The authors celebrate the advantages of a modern transport system, but argue that years of poorly conceived and executed transport policy have resulted in Britain’s transport system being far worse than it should be. They show that a substandard transport system creates economic, social and environmental costs, but demonstrate how these can be addressed through affordable and politically deliverable changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nUsing a refreshingly novel approach, Shaw and Docherty use the familiar idea of the journey as the basis for their discussion. The book follows members of the Smith family as they uncover a wide array of transport issues, including why the problems we all encounter as we travel around actually come about; which policy trade-offs were responsible for creating them in the first place; what impacts we all have to suffer as a result; and what we can do to fix them. This lively and engaging approach will make the book ideal for a wide readership.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jon Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48281089343739,"sku":"9781847428561","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781847428561_bb3ba248-38d2-4526-8115-cf2ccc012ab4.jpg?v=1772487674","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-transport-debate-9781847428561","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
