Transport, Land-Use & the Environmentby Yoshitsugu Hayashi
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The coordination of transportation and land use - which transforms both the transport infrastructure supply and the amenity of urban space - is one of the most important research issues in urban planning today. Concurrently the issue of energy consumption in the transport sector has emerged as a crucial one. This has resulted in an important research need: the examination and identification of the influence of the mechanisms of land-use transport interaction on global energy consumption and environmental damage. Transport, Land-Use and the Environment contains selected papers from a seminar organized by the Transport and Land Use Special Interest Group of the World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS) and covers fact finding, scenario analysis and modeling. It will serve as an invaluable source for academics, practicing planners, and graduate students, especially those who want to see quantitative comparisons of the impact of alternative policies on urban and regional environments.
Book News Annotation:Some decades ago city planners and even a few politicians realized
that people live and work where they can get to, and will fight to
get to where they can live and work. Only recently however has the
relationship between transportation and land use been seen as
impacting energy consumption and environmental damage from the local
to the global level. Selected from presentations at a December 1993
international seminar in Blackheath, Australia, 19 papers and a
summary discuss such dimensions as using combined network equilibrium
models for environmental assessments of land-use/transportation
scenarios, the spatial impact of road improvement in suburban
recreational areas, Bangkok as a case study of congestion and
pollution in a rapidly expanding city of southeast Asia, and higher
density housing and transport in Australian cities.
