DOI: 10.1177/0885412204274173 Urban Form and a Childs Trip to School: The Current Literature and a Framework for Future ResearchUniversity of Texas at Austin Recently created policies and programs target urban form as a primary factor in changes in childrens travel behavior to school. Unfortunately, little research exists that supports a direct relationship between urban form and a childs 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 childrens travel behavior. Finally, a conceptual framework is outlined that addresses the complexity of the relationship between urban form and a childs trip to school to guide future policy and research.
