Focusing on transport planning in Australia, the book reveals that 'car dependence' stems from institutional practices as much as technical factors. Through case studies in three metropolitan areas, it illustrates how transport policies have become entrenched in favor of private, road-based transport, creating barriers to sustainable mobility solutions. The insights extend beyond Australia, offering implications for urban transport planning in developed cities and other related fields.

This book argues that a focus on accessibility is key to the successful integration of urban planning and transport planning, as both seek to provide citizens with access to opportunities.
