| Summary | "There is wide-ranging international debate on, firstly, the degree to which young adults – defined in this study as in other studies as 18–29-year-olds– are shifting travel behaviour away from driving towards other modes of transport, especially to active travel and public transport. Secondly, the debate centres on the reasons or causality of this shift and how far it is caused by pragmatism, particularly due to the cost of learning to drive and running a car, or principle related to environmental concerns and reducing carbon emissions. The report drew on the case studies of Grand Union and Meridian Water (London) and Langley Sustainable Urban Extension and Birmingham-Smethwick Canal Corridor (Birmingham)." |
