Transport Policy, 2025, vol. 165, issue C, 1-16

Abstract: Cars and roads have helped create modern society. However, their use comes at a cost for cities and their residents, in particular with respect to liveability. To improve liveability, cities are implementing a wide range of measures. This paper addresses the challenges cities face in reducing urban car dependency and provides lessons from their experiences. Major research gaps exist around governance questions regarding real-world policy development to aid in the transition towards sustainable mobility.
