A detailed and well-researched book, Projets efficaces begins by listing various consequences of our love affair with the automobile and explains why it is imperative that we reconsider the ways in which we get around. It then provides a definition of sustainable mobility and describes how this concept can be applied in concrete terms. The second part of the book is aimed at providing readers with the necessary tools to promote sustainable mobility, introducing and explaining the factors that contribute to the success of projects embracing this goal.

This book is intended for all those who want to know more about the problems posed by excessive car use and how to tackle them, be they students, researchers, transportation infrastructure developers, stakeholders in public institutions or simply involved citizens.
