Opis

In recent years, the environmental, social and economic concerns regarding laissez-faire retail decentralization policies have resulted in a global trend towards wider choices of good quality public transport modes in suburban areas. Based on a substantial study incorporating both quantitative and qualitative research, this engaging volume takes a more balanced view of both retail outlet and transport attributes.
