Transportation and Land Use

By continuously raising the speed of urban travel and reducing its costs, innovations in transportation technology and investments in the resulting physical infrastructure have provided a powerful impetus for continuing decentralization of urban areas. These same developments have also fostered rapid growth in the demand for transportation services within urban areas, reshaping the spatial and temporal patterns of personal travel and freight transportation at the same time as they have influenced the developing geography of urban land uses. This chapter discusses the following topics: transportation costs and location decisions; effects of changes in transportation costs; transportation's influence on urban land use; land use and transportation models; the effect of land use on travel behavior; transportation and land use: a reassessment.
