Call for Papers - World Transport Policy & Practice Special Edition: A
Future Beyond the Car

 

This special edition of World Transport Policy & Practice is planned to be
published early in 2012.  The deadline for submission of articles is July
31st.  A broad introduction by Guest Editor Steve Melia will set the scene
for up to half a dozen articles of 2,000 to 5,000 words around the following
indicative themes:

 

.         Good practice in removal of cars/traffic from urban areas

.         Experience of new practices or technologies which offer the
potential to replace private motor traffic in the longer-term

.         Alternatives to increasing motorisation in developing or
newly-industrialised countries

.         Research into carfree lifestyles in developed countries

.         The challenges and limitations of 'solving the problem' through
alternative fuels and new car technology

 

In line with the overall aims of the journal, we are looking for
evidence-based articles which will be of use to policymakers, campaigners
and/or transport professionals.  The articles should be about a specific
aspect of 'the big picture', so for example, an article about experience of
freight delivery in carfree or pedestrian areas would be appropriate,
whereas a study of a specific change designed to increase efficiency of
deliveries in a pedestrian area, would not.
