HOW SUSTAINABLE RESEARCH ON SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY: A REVIEW OF FIVE YEARS OF "URBAN TRANSPORT"

This paper explains how that policy makers, in the past few years, have paid more attention to the development of sustainability mobility. One of the main reasons for this change of thinking is due the deterioration of the environmental conditions in urban areas. However, it is though that the research also plays an important part. Therefore, with respect to this topic an inventory was made concerning the past five years of the Urban Transport conferences. Using a system's view on transportation, all research contributions related to the topic of sustainable mobility were classified. A distinction is made between people and freight. Longitudinal research can make it more clear as to whether the attentions or differences concerning this topic have changes in relation to the system's view. The paper identifies whether some research efforts have (not) been successfully implemented in practice.
