The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning (2011)
Journal Article
Wigan, M. (2011). The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning. Road and Transport Research Journal, 20, 32-40

Sustainable transport requires not only solid evidence to support policy and practice, but also to allow this to be examined with a high degree of transparency. Not all technical reports have the supporting evidence (or indeed models) made readily av... Read More about The role of contestable processes in advancing sustainability in transport and planning.
