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?
