About the Editors

Greg Marsden is Professor of Transport Governance at the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds, UK. He has researched the design and implementation of new policies for over 15 years, with a particular focus on climate and energy policy. His current work examines how the smart mobility transition will change how we think about what, how and who governs the mobility system. He is currently Chair of the Commission on Travel Demand, looking at how to deal with alternative demand futures. He is the Secretary General of the World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS) and Co-Chair of the Special Interest Group on Governance and Decision-Making Processes. He has served as an advisor to the House of Commons Transport Select Committee and regularly advises national and international governments.

Louise Reardon is Lecturer at the Institute of Local Government Studies (INLOGOV), University of Birmingham, UK. Her research explores the implications of governance arrangements and public policy processes on decision-making, with a particular interest in transport and wellbeing. Her research is at the forefront of understanding the political and policy interest in wellbeing, and she recently co-authored a book entitled The Politics and Policy of Wellbeing: Understanding the Rise and Significance of a New Agenda. As Co-Chair of the WCTRS Special Interest Group on Governance and Decision-Making Processes, she is keen to grow the community of scholars critically engaged in understanding and challenging the status quo of transport policymaking.
