A good understanding of land use is essential in understanding:
1) the likely demands on the transport system, and
2) planning cost-effective public transport investments.
Land use and transport are closely interrelated in urban areas. Any changes in land use affect the demands on the transport system. Conversely, any changes in the transport services offered affect land values and its use. First, we will look at how land use and transport decisions affect each other. We will use an accessibility model to help us think about these decisions. Second, we will examine the ways in which land use can be considered in transport planning.
This module is about the two-way interaction between urban transport and land use.
This exercise is designed to get you to start thinking about how transport investments impact long-term land use patterns.
A city with a population bad congestions. It is getting worse as more people migrate from the rural areas to city in search of jobs.
The city has a limited arterial street system, with no expressways. The public transport system is an informal network of private operators who use small vans.
There is no public bus or metro system.
Most of the low-income population live in the outer parts of the city. Travel times to the center city for these people range from 45-90 minutes.
A new mayor has been elected based on promises to fix the congestion problem and to help the low-income population. He decides to build 3 metro lines. They will go from the center city to key outer population centers. It is projected that the travel times on the metros will be consistently 35 minutes for low-income commuters to the center city.
What do you think will be the affect on land use after the metro lines are built on:
• Center city?
• Outer city?
• Area beyond city boundaries?
