I've recently started an MPhil at UWE looking at the general area of carfree development. From what I have found so far there appears to be a gap in the research, at least for England. I have yet to find any research into people who live without cars, their reasons, travel behaviour and implications for potential carfree developments.
There has been several studies looking at people in recently developed carfree areas across Northern Europe, including Slateford Green in Edinburgh, but nothing I have found for England.
On the broader question of people without cars, the Scottish Executive commissioned a study in 1999 (see below). The Social Exclusion Unit and the Welsh Consumer Council have both researched the question, but from a different social exclusion perspective.
Is anyone aware of anything else I have missed?
