Materiality, immateriality and the replication of BRT in South Africa Astrid Wood Conclusion Fiona Ferbrache IndexReviews'This is a useful book that uses case studies from around the world to determine the value of BRT in a range of geographic contexts. The examples cover a variety of scales of systems from BRT lite, running largely in mixed traffic, to fully segregated schemes operating at high speeds and using sophisticated information systems. If you want to understand the potential of BRT as an effective urban mode of travel, this is an excellent place to start.' -- Roger Mackett, University College London, UK 'BRT offers sustainable mobility options to wealthy and poor communities alike, however, despite several decades of practice BRT research is limited. Ferbrache has compiled an impressive set of authors covering a wide range of places across the globe that illustrate how BRT is embedded and valued in the built environment. This book is a contribution to students, scholars and practitioners interested in better understanding the experience of BRT and the promise it holds for the future.' -- John Renne, Florida Atlantic University, US, and University of Oxford, UK 'This book is an invaluable addition to the expanding body of knowledge on BRT, particularly on its impacts on urban spaces. It combines a series of case studies from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Great Britain, South Korea, China, India, Colombia and South Africa, with global overviews, authored by 29 multidisciplinary researchers. The book reveals the diversity of applications of a concept that is still in evolution, with multiple positive and negative impacts that need to be understood. The array of contributions indicates that this understanding is maturing, but there are still areas that need further research, like the BRT wider economic and urban impacts. The book is a worthwhile reference for urban planners and researchers.' -- Dario Hidalgo, WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities and the BRT+ Centre of Excellence, US `This is a useful book that uses cases studies from around the world to determine the value of BRT in a range of geographic contexts.
