Sustainable transport

Erling Holden and Geoffrey Gilpin

A chapter in Elgar Encyclopedia of Transport and Society, 2025, pp 382-383 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Since its inception in 1992, the concept of sustainable transport has been an elusive term to contextualise. By juxtaposing the three main strategies for sustainable transport—improve, shift, and avoid—against the three main categories of actors involved in sustainable transitions—experts, people, and firms—one arrives at nine distinct sustainable transport narratives. These nine narratives provide not only a structure with which to organise the existing research literature concerning sustainable transport, but also a blueprint for possible developmental pathways in sustainable transport—they exist, albeit neither in isolation nor free of interaction with one another.
