Abstract

The European Union’s COST Action 618 project sought to assess policy initiatives in institution building and information campaigns for urban air quality management. These efforts centred on limiting the growth of metropolitan traffic, which is the main source of urban atmospheric pollution in most major cities. While this volume focuses on the challenges and results of institution building for improved urban air quality, Action 618 has also produced a book that analyses information campaigns that have been conducted to combat air pollution.
