Integrating Land Use & Transportation
Chinese cities are mimicking the suburbanization trends and patterns of auto-dependent nations: Vehicular travel is a necessity for commuting, shopping, and socializing. Automobile dependence promotes urban expansion, significantly increases energy consumption, and notably worsens the urban environment. Program researchers provide tools to help planners understand how to employ integrated land use and transportation planning to reduce auto dependence.
Key areas of study include:
- Land use and transportation planning integration
- Land use and transportation modeling
- Transit-oriented development
