Chapter 9: Towards a Land-Use and Transport Interaction Framework^†

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 transport projects induce urban development; what proportion of the benefits yielded by transport 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.
