Description
Many policies depart from the idea that transport infrastructure and land use are interrelated. A large number of studies have investigated this relationship: some have focused on the impact of transport infrastructure on land use, others the reverse, and very few on both. There is also a rich body of literature which examines the role of land use and transport infrastructure in determining travel behaviour. A number of these investigations are long term, but for the most part they have been carried out at a single time point or over short timespans. It is essential to analyse the relationships between transport infrastructure networks, land use and travel behaviour over the long term, as their outcomes only become observable over time. This presentation outlines two investigations on the relationships between transport infrastructure, land use and travel behaviour, where various methods are applied to an extensive long-term geo-referenced database, in the case of the Greater Randstad Area in the Netherlands. The findings shed light on the roles of rail and road networks, land use and spatial policies on the development of cities and the travel behaviour of their inhabitants over time.| Period | 3 Sept 2021 |
