Abstract
Viability is among the most characteristic features of developed and developing societies. By its use of resources and its direct and indirect effects on the economy, environment and social lifestyle, it lies along the fault-lines of unsustainability and inequality. The concept of 'sustainable mobility' can offer a framework for redressing a balance of the needs of societies. The paper illustrates this concept, and it focuses on introducing a sustainable mobility plan for Greater Beirut. (A)
