About this book

This book explores the intersections of urban development, travel patterns, and health. Currently, there is a lack of research concerning the subjective dimensions of accessibility in urban environments and travel behavior, as well as travel-related outcomes. Antipova fills this gap in the scholarship by developing an analysis of satisfaction and perception-related indicators at an intraurban level. Specifically, she investigates various aspects of urban environment from the perspective of resident perception and satisfaction, as well as the relationship between urban environment, travel behavior, activity patterns, and traveler health.

Reviews

“This book will be of interest to people from a range of sectors and fields, including housing, urban planning, transport, economic development, public health and environmental safety. The extensive definitions and explanation of urban policies, urban system models, and key terms related to urban form will be useful to readers new to these topics. … Overall, the book helps to build the case for a renewed emphasis on equity, health and liveability in urban policy and planning.” (Melanie Lowe, Journal of Housing and the Built Environment, Vol. 34, 2019)
