{"product_id":"sustainable-urban-form-accessibility-and-travel-von-david-vale","title":"Sustainable Urban Form, Accessibility and Travel","description":"\u003cp\u003eCities around the world are implementing sustainable urban form  policies to alter mobility patterns. In this book, we reframe these  policies as ¿multimodal accessible city'' policies, emphasising  accessibility as an important additional explanatory variable of travel  behaviour. We focus our research on polycentric urban development  policy, which can be seen as a feasible sustainable urban form policy  to large cities and metropolitan areas. We found car commuting and  public transport commuting to be phenomena explained by different  variables, in which car commuting is mainly a socio-economic  driven phenomenon, while public transport commuting is mainly a  land-use driven phenomenon. However, the analysis of commuting  impacts resulting from the relocation of workers and residents  points to a negligible commuting impact on residents, who are  mainly car commuters, but a negative impact on the commuting  patterns of workers, whose car usage has significantly increased as  a result of the workplace relocation. Therefore, we argue that  polycentric urban development is an important urban policy, but not  sufficient, to achieve the desired sustainable commuting patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838320199\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe relationship between polycentric urban development and commuting in Lisbon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838320199","offer_id":39469141786717,"sku":"9783838320199","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/1041430c-613c-40b9-84ab-01bf89a7119c.jpg?v=1775626368","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/sustainable-urban-form-accessibility-and-travel-von-david-vale","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
