This book provides examples and suggestions for readers to understand how public investment decisions for sustainable infrastructure are made. Through detailed analysis of public investment in infrastructure over the last few decades in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Finland, the author explores how the decision-making processes for major public works spending, many of them requiring quite rigorous and detailed computational methodologies, can result in plans that underserve large portions of the population, are inequitable, and fail to efficiently preserve public property.

Thomas Klinger analysiert das Verhalten von Menschen, die nach einem Wohnumzug mit einer andersartigen Mobilitätskultur in Kontakt kommen, also etwa aus einem autoorientierten in ein fahrradfreundliches Umfeld wechseln. Dabei steht die Frage im Mittelpunkt, ob die Anpassung an die neue Umgebung (Adaptionshypothese) oder die Weiterführung erlernter Verhaltensmuster (Sozialisationshypothese) überwiegt. Der Autor untersucht die Ursachen dieser Verhaltensänderungen, wobei neben raumstrukturellen Faktoren und Wohnstandortpräferenzen insbesondere das Erklärungspotential städtischer Mobilitätskulturen identifiziert werden soll. Im Anschluss werden die Ergebnisse mithilfe von multiplen Regressionsmodellen zusammengeführt.
