All over the world governments are currently in the 21st century, confronted with mounting and demanding challenges in the field of connecting transport, sustainability and mobility for all. An area of critical importance for sustainable and gender fair development is mobility and transport, which has so far been neglected and downplayed in research and policy making both in China and in the West. This presentation will discuss various qualitative methodologies in transport research related to gender, transport and sustainability and outline an approach to more inclusive and sustainable mobility for all.
