Abstract
The relentless trend of falling generalised cost of travel has created a world in which travellers mix local and non-local interactions easily, be it face-to-face or mediated by the various forms of telecommunication. The implications of this change of scale have not yet been fully dis-cussed, as the most relevant literature in sociology generally skirts around its practical implica-tion. The chapter will discuss the interaction between social capital creation, travel and transport policy and to outline how transport policy has to overcome its limits to achieve its goals. Show more
