Research has shown that the introduction of Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) and Active Travel Infrastructure (ATI) has reduced pollution, congestion and crime in communities. However, the investigation indicates that these schemes have predominantly been introduced to middle-class areas.
By mapping the existence of ATI and LTNs against the deprivation index this project establishes whether there is a correlation between the wealth of a community and its ability to implement car-reduction schemes. If a correlation is established, the project will decipher the reasons why.
