Understanding the travel behaviour of immigrants and how and why this changes overtime: A case study of Polish immigrants in Bristol and Weston-super-Mare, UK (2024)
Thesis

Immigrant travel behaviour is an understudied field. The small amount of existing research suggests that immigrants culturally assimilate to car-driving to conform to local travel behaviour norms. Examination of this concept with Polish immigrants in...
