More and faster or less and slower – assumptions in and consequences

The focus of this project is to examine how the prevailing “more and faster” discourse influences transport policy decision-making, and to highlight its consequences. The overarching aim is to address an existing knowledge gap by using the development of public transport in the Västra Götaland Region as a case study. Västra Götaland is of particular interest as, over the past five years, the region has shifted its strategic focus — from public transport and sustainable travel to improved and sustainable accessibility.
