Embracing uncertainty and shaping transport for Scotland’s future (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Lyons, G., Cragg, S., & Neil, M. (2018). Embracing uncertainty and shaping transport for Scotland’s future.

A growing number of transport bodies are trying to make sense of how to inform and shape policymaking and investment in the face of deep uncertainty. Potentially disruptive transport technologies are only part of a more complex picture of societal ch... Read More about Embracing uncertainty and shaping transport for Scotland’s future.

Embodied carbon is, to some extent, an odd beast. Its importance is evident and the beneficial consequences of its reduction undeniable. We know that the built envi- ronment is a major source of our carbon excesses, yet most policies focus only on pa...
