| Abstract | The density, shape, configuration, and other urban forms of cities are widely recognized to have an impact on elements of sustainability such as social equity, accessibility, ecology, economic perform...nce, pollution, and health. The 12 papers presented here by Williams (Oxford Brookes U., UK) consider the relationship between urban form and sustainable transport. The papers investigate the relationship between urban form in combination with such factors as changing demographies, different lifestyles, and land use on sustainable transport. They also empirically examine the impact of transport infrastructure on employment development, factors of urban form that affect petroleum consumption, and exposure to air pollution by car drivers in select European cities. The volume concludes with essays that consider planning policies to facilitate sustainable mobility and their operation and are based on research conducted in Australia and the United States.
