Editorial Reviews

'The book is of interest to readers who want a general overview of the subjects discussed without going into too much detail. It contains some lessons for researchers in the field of transport economics and transport management.' - Urban Studies

'All in all, this is a stimulating collection of papers on a subject that has suddenly moved into the core of 1990's planning practice, and in this light is a must for all planning department libraries, and required reading for planning practitioners.' - Planning Practice and Research
