Abstract
The challenge of household growth creates the opportunity to improve quality of life in England's towns and cities--and at the same time protect the countryside--according to a major report from the government's Urban Task Force. The report contains over 100 detailed recommendations, including committing at least 65% of transport public expenditure to walking, cycling, and public transport over the next 10 years and introducing Home Zones to give local people more control over traffic movement through their neighborhoods.
