Abstract: Low travel horizons can be a major barrier for socially excluded groups to fully participate in the economic, social and cultural life of modern society. This in turn can lead to socially deprived ghettos even in our most prosperous and dynamic cities. This paper examined the factors behind low travel horizons, including how mental geographies are influenced by access to different transport modes. Drawing upon original primary research in inner London the paper presents a wide range of recommendations as to how travel horizons can be broadened.
