Transport Truths
Abstract
Transport Truths is a book project with two case studies. Transformation of transport planning to a field that values human experience requires multiple ways of understanding the present and possible future(s). This book shows how to guide transport futures by combining qualitative and qualitative knowledges, illuminating multiple levels of the nature of transport through critical realism. The book uses engaging case studies to show how timing, methods, and audience of knowledge impacts outcomes, focusing on new case studies of expansion of the Banjul Airport Expansion in West Africa, and Interstate 35 development in Austin in North America. Additional studies from around the globe serve as examples of emerging transport methods using quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods.
