Abstract

There is a growing emphasis in public and political discourse on finding alternatives to the current car-based patterns of personal travel. As a consequence the interest in walking and cycling as socially, economically and environmentally sustainable modes of travel has increased and this thesis investigates the process of walking and cycling policy implementation in British local authorities. The results of a quantitative questionnaire survey are combined with in depth qualitative case studies of local authorities which were selected through a Case Study Selection Index developed especially for this thesis. The study identifies conditions and factors which determine implementation outcomes and develops a conceptual model, which relates these factors to each other.
