| The City of Norwich, situated in the east of England, is the administrative centre of the County of Norfolk. It covers some 50kmē with a population of about 120,000, although this increases to 250,000 if the immediately adjacent built up area lying outside the city boundary is taken into account. |
|
| Whilst the city itself is relatively compact, it is built on a radial pattern, and with a relatively large but low-density catchment movement patterns are essentially disparate. Reliance on car-based travel, particularly beyond the urban area, is very high. The City Centre is highly accessible by non-car modes of transport. Public transport services within the Norwich Area focus on the City Centre, and orbital journeys within the urban area are also possible by public transport via the City Centre. A significant proportion of the urban population has access to a 20-minute (or better) service. Park and Ride services increasingly provide long stay car parking beyond the urban edge, reducing the need for car travel within the urban area. |
