Pour en finir avec la vitesse

Plaidoyer pour la vie en proximité

18 August 2021

Pouvoir se déplacer de plus en plus rapidement grâce à la vitesse des nouveaux modes de transport a modifié nos modes de vie fondamentalement. Mais si voyager toujours plus loin et à bas coût, au quotidien et pour les vacances, exauce les rêves de liberté et de découverte d’une partie croissante de la population mondiale, il y a un revers à la médaille : fatigue, stress, inégalités, fragilité du système, congestion et pollution. Et la récente révolution numérique n’a permis de diminuer ni les déplacements, ni le rythme de vie de nos contemporains. Pire, la démocratisation de la voiture puis de l’avion contribue de façon majeure au réchauffement climatique. Est-il (encore) possible de sortir de l’emprise de la vitesse ? Les auteurs donnent sur le sujet un point de vue inédit et proposent de réorganiser le territoire pour permettre de vivre en plus grande proximité et répondre aux enjeux climatiques.

Les auteurs

Et si nous étions arrivés à un moment où l’urgence climatique et les aspirations à vivre en plus grande proximité nous obligeaient à réinventer notre système de mobilité ? Après un an et demi de crise de la Covid-19, ce livre rédigé par des membres du Forum Vies Mobiles et publié aux éditions de l’aube dessine la "transition mobilitaire" pour aller vers des modes de vie désirés et durables.
