Urban Regeneration and Transport Investment: A Research Agenda

Transport infrastructure has played only a limited role in the evolution of urban policy in the United Kingdom. The scale of investment in a range of infrastructural projects in Sheffield allows for a detailed examination of the interrelationships between regeneration and transport expenditure. This research programme is, in particular, intended to identify within one urban conurbation the effects of infrastructure on planning and property, business operation and location, local labour markets, and image. A number of methodological issues raised by the research programme are discussed.
