URBAN REGENERATION AND TRANSPORT INVESTMENT - A RESEARCH AGENDA

Transport infrastructure has played only a limited role in the evoluti on of urban policy in the United Kingdom. The scale of investment in a range of infrastructual projects in Sheffield allows for a detailed e xamination of the interrelationships between regeneration and transpor t 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 re search programme are discussed.
