Transforming Transport

"Transforming Transport" by Stephan Sigrist is an insightful non-fiction book that addresses the challenges and opportunities of modern mobility. In an era where mobility is a central aspect of life, the book highlights the congestion of transport systems in cities and the associated climate risks. Sigrist questions the common assumptions about the mobility revolution, which is shaped by technological advancements such as self-driving cars and clean propulsion technologies. He argues that greater efficiency does not necessarily lead to a relief of living environments, but rather to an increase in mobility. The book calls for a fundamental rethinking of the concept of mobility and suggests viewing immobility as a luxury. It offers an in-depth analysis of future mobility and its impacts on society, the economy, and individual lifestyles.
