Our actual mobility and transport patterns have a direct impact on the environmental conditions and on climate change. Transport is responsible for more than a third of the overall pollutants emitted to the atmosphere and is also one of the economic sectors that has most resisted against policies aimed at reducing the total amount of emissions.
Studies on mobility and transport look to understand in deep the social and spatial causes that determine our daily mobility. The aim is to think of measures and to design public policies towards reducing the emission of pollutants and the negative externalities derived from a mobility pattern excessively dependant from the private vehicle.
