Abstract

GRANADA GARCES, Isabel. The London Congestion Charge: its Contribution to Sustainable Mobility. rev.ing. [online]. 2009, n.29, pp.137-147. ISSN 0121-4993.

How sustainable is a transport scheme is not easy to define. There are certain aspects in which schemes as the London congestion charge can or can´t contribute to the improvement of the quality of life and the rational use of resources. Through 3 criteria: economic, social and environmental, the following paper reviews the characteristics of this transport scheme based on the concept of sustainable mobility to conclude that socially speaking it has been successful while economically it can be improved while its environmental effects are still to be established.

Keywords : Congestion charge; externality; sustainability.
