Transport and Children’s Wellbeing [EPUB ebook] 

Transportation and Children’s Well-Being applies an ecological approach, examining the social, psychological and physical impacts transport has on children at the individual and community level. Drawing on the latest multidisciplinary research in transport, behavior, policy, the built environment and sustainability, the book explains the pathways and mechanisms by which transport affects the different domains of children’s travel. Further, the book identifies the influences of transportation with respect to several domains of well-being, highlighting the influences of residential location on travel by different modes and its impact on the long-term choices families make. The book concludes with proposed evidence-based solutions using real-world examples that support positive influences on well-being and eliminate or reduce negative solutions. – Brings disparate child transportation material together in one clearly defined narrative- Illustrates evidence using a range of examples from Europe, North America and Asia- Includes new research developments on the intrinsic aspects of access and externalities
