MOBILITY & ACCESSIBILITY: THE YIN & YANG OF PLANNING

The concepts of 'accessibility' and 'mobility' are central to urban and transport planning and, although they are often used interchangeably, they convey fundamentally different meanings. For example, mobility, especially when excessive, can have a negative connotation, whereas accessibility is always seen as making a positive contribution to a community. In investigating the relationship between mobility and accessibility, it emerges that planning policies that favor one, act against the other, and the 2 can be seen as opposites.
