TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Urban form and a child's trip to school: the current literature and a framework for future research JO - Journal of planning literature A1 - McMillan, Tracy E. SP - 440 EP - 456 VL - 19 IS - 4 N2 - Recently created policies and programs target urban form as a primary factor in changes in children's travel behavior to school. Unfortunately, little research exists that supports a direct relationship between urban form and a child's trip to school. This article first discusses the transportation and health problems these policies attempt to address. It then reviews the current planning and public health literature on the relationship between urban form and children's travel behavior. Finally, a conceptual framework is outlined that addresses the complexity of the relationship between urban form and a child's trip to school to guide future policy and research. KW: SR2S
