Steering Autonomous Vehicles and Sustainable Cities Toward a Liveable Future

autonomous vehicle
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) could either deepen car dependency or support sustainable, liveable cities.

Drawing on examples from Singapore, Phoenix, and Stockholm, it highlights key tools — transport hierarchy and road pricing — to guide cities toward greener, fairer futures.
