Street space reallocation under austerity
Street space reallocation measures, such as Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs), have attracted substantial controversy in the UK and elsewhere, for instance around reported poor engagement with residents and local actors. However, limited attention has been given to the political-economic context shaping scheme implementation, such as the impacts of reduced resources or the use of short-term, contingent funding. Based on 37 interviews with officer…
Accessibility through commoning. New perspectives for inclusive cities and beyond
This paper introduces commoning accessibility (CA) as a novel conceptual framework that redefines accessibility as an essential good for activity participation and needs fulfilment, one that can be collectively managed. This perspective emerges from the observation of collaborative practices among actors engaged in the co-creation and governance of accessibility provision. Widespread examples of such practices include shared vehicle ownership, co…
‘We’re trying to reimagine this gig economy as a force for good’
Cargo bike deliveries have gained popularity, promoted as a ‘more sustainable’ alternative to van deliveries. Many cargo bike delivery companies, and businesses that use them, position themselves as ethical employers seeking to improve working conditions in logistics. Using Labour Process Theory, this article examines the evolving dynamics of managerial control and worker resistance in the sector, focusing on tensions between precarity and exploi…
Can mixed-methods help us better understand congestion on Low Traffic Neighbourhood boundary roads
Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) aim to improve conditions for walking, wheeling and cycling by restricting motor vehicle movements on residential streets while maintaining access to all addresses. Despite generally positive evidence, LTNs faced backlash, often linked to concerns that motor traffic from inside LTNs is displaced onto surrounding ‘boundary roads’. In this paper, we bring together large-scale sensor data and spatially-transcribed i…
Towards a Degrowth Critique of Aeromobilities
Aeromobilities—socio‐technical systems that lock in dependence on fossil fuel‐based mobilities—contribute substantially to climate change and uneven geographies. They represent paradigmatic capitalism‐driven forms of metabolism, permeated by logics of efficiency and growth. While existing literature has examined resistance to airport expansion, it has overlooked opposition to the metabolic dimensions of aeromobility. Using an urban political ecol…

Are Barcelona's climate shelters accessible to vulnerable residents? A mobility justice analysis
As climate change intensifies heatwaves, urban populations face increasing health risks, disproportionately affecting vulnerable groups such as older adults. In response, cities are implementing climate adaptation strategies. Barcelona launched its Climate Shelter Network in 2019, which includes more than 350 facilities. However, there is limited evidence on whether these shelters are equitably accessible to those most at risk. This study address…
Troubling go-alongs through the lens of care
Go alongs are a popular research method for studying everyday mobility practices, providing insight into embodied experiences of engaging with lived environments. Generally considered positive and productive, there is increasingly discussion of go-along interviews as emotionally, cognitively and physically demanding. We consider care an essential component of go-along interviews. However, this has been overlooked in scholarship; particularly the …
The conflictual governance of street experiments, between austerity and post-politics
Car dependency greatly contributes to the climate crisis and the corrosion of public space. In response, cities are introducing pedestrianisation, cycle lanes or tactical urban interventions aimed at repurposing streets for other road users. Framed as ‘experiments’, these reallocations of street space disrupt traditional transport planning procedures, often with promising results in promoting active travel. They are also associated with deep conf…
The role of funding in the 'performative decarbonisation' of transport in England
The scale of the decarbonisation challenge and the short timeframes over which action is required demand urgent action. This paper is set within the surface transport sector, now the largest sector of emissions with the slowest pace of change in many advanced liberal economies. It focuses on the strategies and actions of local government which is recognised to be a central player in catalysing change. Our evidence is derived from the actions of t…

A mixed methods approach to the social assessment of transport infrastructure projects
In this paper, we propose a mixed methods quantitative and qualitative approach to capture fully the measurable and less tangible social impacts of transport projects on local people and communities. The approach was used to assess the potential social impacts of a strategic road by-pass project case study in a deprived region of Wales in the UK. The project specifically aimed to stimulate local economic growth and regeneration in the local areas…
Have a good trip! expanding our concepts of the quality of everyday travelling with flow theory
The dominant tradition in transport planning and policy practice considers travel as a derived activity and travel time as an economic disutility. A growing body of literature is challenging this perspective, demonstrating that being ‘on the move’ is a rich experience interlaced with profound shared and individual meanings that can have positive implications on quality of life, well-being and personal development. Yet, mobility in general, and co…
Equity in new active travel infrastructure
In this article we examine equity in new active travel infrastructure in London, UK. We focus on Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) introduced during Covid-19. These area-based schemes mainly involve ‘modal filters’ that restrict through motor traffic from residential streets within a neighbourhood. Such approaches to traffic management are traditional in the Netherlands, but are relatively novel in London and other global cities such as Barcelona…
Framework for Participatory Quantitative Health Impact Assessment in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
The framework has several implications for research and practice. It underlines the importance of applying participatory approaches critically while providing a blueprint for methods to engage local stakeholders. Participatory approaches in quantitative HIAs are complex and demand a nuanced understanding of the context. Therefore, the political and cultural contexts in which HIA is conducted will define how the framework is applied. Finally, the …

Transport poverty and its adverse social consequences
Transport poverty is an issue that has never fully captured the interests of the transport engineering profession in either the ‘global north’ or ‘global south’ and yet it is a problem that adversely affects the daily lives of millions of people across the globe. What precisely constitutes transport poverty is not adequately articulated within academic, policy or infrastructure design literature. This paper aims to demonstrate how the different w…
