Tóm tắt:This paper re-examines the role of urban planning in enabling sustainable mobility. It pulls together a number of developing areas of work, assembling and interpreting the existing evidence on the influence of urban structure at different spatial scales on travel patterns, and the inter-relationships with socio-economic, attitudinal and other contextual characteristics. It includes data analysis using the Great Britain National Travel Survey. The commentary is developed in the light of the developing mobilities literature – covering the social, cultural and experiential dimensions of travel.
