Super-suburbs warning

Super-suburbs warning - 2002 - Independent Transport Commission website 14 October 2002, (3) .

Super-suburbs, 100 miles or more outside cities, could be created as a result of massive government transport investment according to the report "The land use effects of the 10-year plan" produced by the Independent Transport Commission. The £180 bn investment will encourage commuting from much greater distances with a forecast of 50% increase in rail passenger use. These pressures could conflict with the government's urban renaissance agenda.The report's authors are Sir Peter Hall and Stephen Marshall. The report is available at http://www.trg.soton.ac.uk/itc/
