TOWARD A LAND-USE AND TRANSPORT INTERACTION FRAMEWORK

Abstract

The widely recognized but less understood interaction between land-use and transport (LU&T) is the subject of this Chapter. Some of the common questions regarding this interaction are: to what extent and under what circumstances do tranport projects induce urban development: what proportion of th ebenefits yyielded by tranport projects are captured by landowners; are changes in land rents a good measure of a transport project benefit; and to what extent are location choices dependent on the accessibility provided by the transport system?. Additionally, planners model the future development of the land-use system for multiple purposes, including the appropriate forecasting of land-use scenarios to be used as input to the transport model.
