Critics Review
“This book represents a giant step towards bringing the important concept of accessibility into mainstream planning practice. Not only does it provide a variety of accessibility tools, it explores their usefulness in the planning process and tackles the barriers to their implementation.” -Susan Handy, Professor, University of California, Davis, USA
“Accessibility instruments can play a crucial role in the integration of land use and transport planning. This book bridges accessibility research and accessibility planning, with a rich set of lessons learned from applications in planning practices from different continents. This book gives a rich understanding of accessibility concepts and the barriers which impede its use in planning, and explore the frontiers of research and practice in urban and regional planning.” -Karst Geurs, Professor of Transport Planning, University of Twente, The Netherlands
