Do randomised control trials offer a solution to 'low quality' transport research?
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Presentation / Conference Contribution

This article describes two studies which aimed to explore the impacts of pedestrianisation or road closures on traffic displacement, travel behaviour and the phenomenon of ‘disappearing traffic’. The first study surveyed residents whose travel route... Read More about Does traffic really disappear when roads are closed?.

Potential for carfree development in the UK
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper aims: to propose a definition and typology of carfree development, to assess the benefits and problems associated with it, to assess the potential demand for ‘European style’ carfree housing in the UK and the circumstances under which it m...
