The impact of teleworking
From Banister et al. (2007)
• Teleworking has increased 150%
• Mainly professional males (gender and social status)
• Longer commuting time/distance for teleworkers
• Unclear rebound effect but opportunities for reduced travel and associated negative impacts
• Could encourage more dispersed living patterns?
