ABSTRACT
The issue of adequate transport provision within communities, and at the more strategic level of connectivity to link them to each other and to key activities such as employment, education, healthcare, shopping and leisure and social opportunities, is an important one in the social sustainability debate. We all live, work and play in a highly mobile society, which often requires us to travel to a number of different destinations in any one week just to carry out our basic activities. Many of us automatically do this by car, without thinking of the environmental consequences of this on our local and global environment, or what impact it might have on other forms of transport or the lives of other people.
