Journal Article
Longhurst, J. W., McEvoy, D., McEvoy, D., Gibbs, D. C., & Longhurst, J. (2000). City-regions and the development of sustainable energy-supply systems. International Journal of Energy Research, 24(3), 215-237. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291099-114X%2820000310%2924%3A3%3C215%3A%3AAID-ER576%3E3.0.CO%3B2-7

To achieve the CO2 reductions deemed necessary to limit the impact of adverse climate change will require real changes in the way we both use and supply energy. Although explicit international and national frameworks are necessary to facilitate reduc... Read More about City-regions and the development of sustainable energy-supply systems.

Journal Article
Conlan, D. E., Rayfield, D., Longhurst, J., Ramsden, P. S., Dinsdale, J. A., & Elliott, R. M. (1998). The impacts of road transport on air quality in the Greater Manchester region, UK: Policies towards a sustainable transport system. Environmentalist, 18(1), 3-13. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1006581000168

The transport-induced air quality problems of the Greater Manchester region are examined. The problems are defined in terms of economic and social factors leading to the development of a car-based economy. The impacts of transport emissions on the na...
