Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The aim of the research is to produce rigorous methodologies to develop and test sustainable policies and practices that will deliver effective socially inclusive design and operation in urban transport and the public realm from macro down to micro level. As social inclusion rises up the agenda of public policy, increasing attention focuses on the ramifications for disadvantaged social groups of past policies and practices that encouraged car-dependent life-styles for the majority of the population and more dispersed patterns of development. As a preliminary to the main project, a Scoping Study will identify a broad range of potential solutions to the problems of social exclusion that are reinforced and exacerbated by poor access to places of work, learning, health care, food shops, leisure and other desired activity destinations, and review the methodologies available to generate these solutions. From its inception, the Scoping Study will facilitate the participation of end-users. It will integrate policy, design and operations research by establishing an initial Testbed area in collaboration with the London Borough of Camden. Thus, it will start the development of innovative and transferable solutions that will be further applied and evaluated in different social and spatial contexts, and at different scales, in the main project.
