Suburban solutions: The other side of the story

Barton, Hugh; Grant, Marcus; Horswell, M W

Abstract

How much does urban form affect levels of active travel and transport carbon emissions? It is all too easy for policy-makers to jump to simple conclusions, but the answer is both complex and contested. Here Hugh Barton, Marcus Grant and Michael Horswell report on recent research which casts new light on the impact of neighbourhood planning.
