Local shopping centres are at the heart of sustainable neighbourhoods, especially in regeneration areas where many residents are without a car. But retail and transport trends have undermined local centres, reflected in derelict, stigmatised precincts and boarded-up shops. Viable local centres, accessible by sustainable transport, are also important all over Britain to reduce the huge growth in car-based shopping, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. This study looked at 14 positive examples of retail regeneration to determine good practice.

The last twenty years have seen a dramatic growth in both vehicle numbers and the distances driven in all industrialised societies. Car-ownership is now the norm for most households. Ever-rising car-ownership has led to increasing concerns about the harmful effects of transport on the natural environment and quality of life for groups without regular access to a car. Nevertheless, policies which aim to mitigate the environmental impacts of traffic may sometimes come into conflict with the social inclusion of low-income and other disadvantaged groups and communities.
