abstract: 'This paper explores the relationship between car ownership and financial
circumstances for people living in disadvantaged urban communities.
Assumptions about cars signifying status and income are problematised by
an examination of the characteristics of those who adopt cars. We
consider the possibility that, despite low incomes and financial
problems, cars may be a necessity for some urban dwellers. Patterns of
car ownership and adoption are analysed using cross-sectional and
longitudinal survey data collected from communities in Glasgow, between
2006 and 2011, before, during and after the recession. Car ownership
rates increased, as more people adopted a car than relinquished
vehicles. The likelihood of household car adoption was influenced by
changes in household size, increased financial difficulties in relation
to housing costs, and where householders gained work. A small but
growing proportion of households (up to 8.5\% by 2011) are deemed
`forced car owners'' by virtue of owning a car despite also reporting
financial difficulties: three-quarters of this group maintain a car
despite financial problems whilst a quarter adopt a car despite
financial problems. Findings suggest that poor households are reluctant
to relinquish their cars to ease money problems when under financial
stress and that, for some, acquiring a car may be seen as necessary to
better their circumstances. In neither case can we see evidence that the
sustainable transport agenda is reaching disadvantaged communities and
there are concerns that regeneration strategies are failing to promote
mobility and accessibility for poor communities via transport policies.'
