Travel transitions: How transport planners and policy makers can respond to shifting mobility trends (2021)
Report
Travel behaviour has evolved in unexpected ways in urbanised areas in the early 21st century. This report examines how significant breaks with past trends happened - and why these shifts were not foreseen. The Covid-19 pandemic adds to uncertainty ab...
