Turning the Car Inside Out: Transport, Equity and Environment
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: “Turning the car inside out” describes how the environmental damage and social exclusion inflicted by the car can only be seen from outside the car. It explains how car use has reshaped land, time use, social relations and economic patterns. It creates ever more pressures for increased car use, yet inevitably leaves the people temporarily or permanently excluded from cars having to negotiate car distances and times. The worst scenario of car saturation is rejected as untenable both because of the permanent social and environmental impact, but also the self‐defeating nature of the quest for mobility.
