Beyond the Private Car: Personal Mobility Futures in Australia

澳大利亚城市居民对私家车的依赖，令寻求更可持续替代品的政策制定者陷入了一个日益恶化的困境。这些替代方案的识别和培育受到概念框架的阻碍，在这些框架中，私家车被视为唯一提供独立性和灵活性的交通方式。这个项目在两个方面为这个交通难题开辟了新天地。它建立了一个框架，以了解非私家车运输形式如何维持个人独立性和环境。它为个性化、非私家车出行能够蓬勃发展的日常和治理环境提供了证据。

Australian urban dwellers' reliance on the private car is a worsening dilemma for policy makers seeking more sustainable alternatives. The identification and nourishing of these alternatives is hindered by conceptual frameworks in which the private car is seen to be the only transport mode that offers independence and flexibility. This project breaks new ground in this transport conundrum in two ways. It develops a framework in which to understand how non-private-car transport forms sustain both individual independence and the environment. It provides evidence on the everyday and governance contexts in which individualised, non-private-car mobility can flourish.
