Urbanisation and everyday mobility.Long-term changes of travel in urban areas of Sweden

This paper examines the long-term changes of travel patterns in urbanized and semi-urbanized areas of Sweden. Travel survey data reveal a connection between built-up area size/density and distance travelled. This relation is not linear. People living within the medium-sized towns travel the least da...
