Do randomised control trials offer a solution to 'low quality' transport research? (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Melia, S. (2015, January). Do randomised control trials offer a solution to 'low quality' transport research?. Paper presented at 47th Annual UTSG Conference, London, UK

This article responds to Graham-Rowe et al. (2011), which categorised 77 evaluations of transport interventions into 5 levels of ‘quality’. This article focuses on Graham-Rowe et al.’s treatment of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and their recom...

Urban walking experience, understood as relationships between the pedestrian's inner world, the city they experience and their physical movement of walking (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Calvert, T., Jain, J., & Chatterjee, K. (2015, January). Urban walking experience, understood as relationships between the pedestrian's inner world, the city they experience and their physical movement of walking. Paper presented at 47th Annual Universities' Transport Study Group Conference (UTSG), City University, London, UK

There is growing interest in walking and how it can be encouraged due to its potential to ameliorate public health, environmental and congestion issues and the economic benefits attendant on this. However there is little research about the experience...
