Soon to be released – 10 volumes on sustainable transport

Ten groundbreaking volumes on sustainable transport are in their final stages and are due to be released in the lead up to the final report.

"The Warren Centre has brought together 220 experts to investigate health, pricing, travel and alternatives, land use and institutional structure," said Ken Dobinson, Project Director

"Each action proposed is being tested for its practical application against environmental and social impacts, economic justification and financial feasibility.

The volumes are:

  • Healthy Transport, Healthy People
  • Changing Travel Behaviour
  • Transport Pricing: more than just a tax
  • A city of cities
  • Reforming through informing
  • Must we travel?
  • Moving people
  • Freight: the forgotten task
  • Flying: planes and trains
  • Removing the barriers.
    and a final report
  • A Sustainable City: The Way Forward
