High housing targets in areas with poor public transport

In many of the local authority areas which have been given high targets, more people are dissatisfied with the quality of public transport.

Poundbury is mixed development built around streets and walkable community facilities.

New housing needs to be connected to safe and convenient cycle routes.

We found that large new housing areas in England were very rarely built with a new station to cater for future residents.

Urban form follows the transport modes that are available.

We need to build new homes around mass transit systems.

Apartments offer so much compared to lower density estates.

We are exploring how swathes of land given over to parking could be put to better use.
