(1) Land use and transport planning
The existing framework of structure planning (in the U.K.) could be used as a mechanism
for the achievement of a spatial form which minimises the demand for movement and travel
while maximising accessibility and mobility. There would be associated costs but benefits could
be measured in reduced accident rates as well as energy savings. Such a policy would operate at
several different scales ensuring that local neighbourhood accident rates did not increase as a
result of a reduction in medium length trips. Policies would be necessary across the whole
range of educational, health and retail service provision. The woonerf is an application of these
broad principles at a particular spatial scale (the neighbourhood level).
