SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY IN EUROPE AND THE ROLE OF THE AUTOMOBILE: A CRITICAL INQUIRY. SECOND EDITION, SEPTEMBER 1995

The aim of the inquiry is to study the current responses in Europe to the problems of road transport, particularly the problems of increasing car use. The basic point of departure is the new Common Transport Policy (CTP) of the EU as of December 1992. The catchword of this document, 'sustainable mobility', has also inspired the title of the report. The findings may be summarized in the following way: The present situation of road transport in Europe is a result of interaction failure rather than of market failure. The reason for this is lack of agreement in the perceptions of problems, goals, measures and their implementation. A way out of this dilemma is indicated, intensified controversies about the perceptions could create opportunities for new forms of interaction.
