Integrating Gender into Transport Planning “Books to provide transport planners with gendered insights of everyday mobility are rare. It is an important but under-researched topic because although we know that satisfying people’s mobility needs is about much more than improving journey efficiency transport planning decisions are still largely focused on this issue. The authors of this book demonstrate that by applying feminist approaches to the study of mobility there is a chance to open new windows of understanding about how and why people are mobile or immobile and whether their daily experiences of the transport system matches their needs and expectation. Women, in particular, but anyone who adopts the ‘feminine’ role within society will have different travel demands to those traditionally catered for by transport professionals. The authors of this book recommend that it is time to establish new planning regimes that recognise the diversities that are manifest within contemporary societies in order to move beyond the binary categorisations of commuter and social travel and towards multivariate travel environments that recognise the needs of women, but also children, older people, ethnic minorities and different economic stratifications. The book is well-placed to offer useful new research approaches that will assist travel planners in this task.” —Karen Lucas, Deputy Director of the Leeds Social Sciences Institute and Professor of Transport and Social Analysis, University of Leeds, UK
