Innovations in transport/land use urban structures: the experience of the British New Towns

Potter, Stephen (1983). Innovations in transport/land use urban structures: the experience of the British New Towns. Planning and Administration, 10(2) pp. 42–53.

Abstract

How urban structure and transport goals are harmonised has implications for the costs of development and servicing, the types of housing that can be provided and even social justice. This paper examines the way in which land use planning and technical requirements for one form of travel can adversely affect provision for people travelling by other methods. This article uses the example of the British New Towns as they have been built to a variety of transport/land use concepts and so the personal accessibility consequences of these are clearer than in the more slowly changing existing cities.
