TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that social practice theory may be a valuable addition to practitioner's toolboxes by providing an alternative means of understanding the complex dynamics between the elements that constitute the practice of utility cycling.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the redevelopment of previously developed land by public-private sector partnerships in three cities/Towns in South-West England, two of which can be described as medium-size communities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors set out eight key contentions about the need to re-think transport policy that emerged from three years of quantitative and qualitative research into people's travel practices and suggested the need for a toolkit to be assembled to take a new approach to enabling a transition to the wider use of low carbon mobility.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a social practice approach to behaviour to identify where the opportunities existed to change travel practices to low carbon alternatives through disruptive events in England, but these opportunities were not taken up due to the desire to return infrastructure to pre-event conditions rather than an improved future of low carbon travel.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the governmental systems that influence mobility behaviours through a social practice lens, and explored how the meanings, materials and competences within the practices of bid writing by local authorities and scheme selection by government influenced the distribution of funding to local authorities.
