Abstract

This article reviews the links between transport and social disadvantage in urban Australia from an economic perspective. The aim is to outline the nature of these links, to outline the policy responses and to review these issues from an economic perspective. The first section outlines the traditional models of urban transport disadvantage. This is followed by a review of emerging models. A review of the future trends and prospects is then outlined. The article concludes with a discussion of the major themes emerging in this field.
