Summary

Environmental policies are needed to address the interrelated environmental impacts of urban concentration and transport in the context of growing globalization and the new digital economy. Policy makers face a wide array of issues, including the production, transport and supply of energy, waste treatment, smart city design, different modes of urban transport and the need to develop the fiscal capacity to adequately address these and other challenges. This book explores specific ways in which environmental taxes and other economic instruments can help to address the various issues. The book has four parts: (I) Impacts of the emerging 21st century economy; (II) fiscal environmental policies for urban concentration; (III) challenging issues for transport taxes; and (IV) the evaluation of cross-cutting policies
