商品簡介
Hine (transport and road assessment, U. of Ulster) and Mitchell (U. of York) pose questions relating to the direction of British transport policy. Among them how the links between transport and social exclusion are characterized; given this characterization, what policy mechanisms and practices are appropriate in different circumstances; and what implications do the social exclusion debate have for the delivery and organization of transport policy. The traditional concern of transport policy makers with car dependence and the journey to work, they say, has inevitably resulted in policy that ignores poverty and the consequences of not owning a car.
