Island transport, car ownership and use: a focus on practices in Cuba, Malta, Mauritius and Singapore
journal contribution
posted on 2011-01-04, 12:26 authored by James P. Warren, Marcus EnochMarcus EnochCar ownership is growing in many countries and this growth results in further
car use and increasing emissions – a trend diametrically opposed to a reduction of transport
energy and longer term sustainability targets, and a problem that is particularly acute in
island states across the world. The aim of this paper is to consider how various contextual
factors influence the development of transport systems in four island states. Within this,
the paper seeks to explore how transport systems have developed in Cuba, Mauritius,
Malta and Singapore. The paper finds that a number of contextual factors have combined
to result in four rather interesting transport outcomes.
