Subject(s): Online resources: Bibl.nr: VTI P4839:95-15Location: Abstract: While transportation is a long-acknowledged factor in shaping cities and determining land development potential, as the result of enhanced accessibility, the reciprocal impact of land use decisions on transportation outcomes has only gradually achieved recognition. It is these reciprocal impacts, of interest in treating land use or site design options as "transportation" strategies, that provide the impetus for this chapter. Presented here is information on the relationships between land use/site design and travel behavior, drawn primarily from research studies that have attempted to measure and explain the effects.
