Description: "The need to build more homes and the impact of doing so, along with the difficulty of achieving sustainable transport to serve them in a world where increased travel is a major part of our carbon footprint, are the twin themes of Hank Dittmar's assessment of the thinking informing current and future planning policy. Transport and Neighborhoods questions whether the range of initiatives offered by governments, including sustainable communities, Ecotowns and New Urbanist developments, add up to anything without decent and workable transport systems?"--Jacket.
