| Traditional urban transportation planning lack analysis of evolvements surrounding land use pattern and corresponding economic activities and, therefore has a weak base for addressing a variety of issues, such as urban sprawl, alternative economy/land development plans, traffic congestion, and air pollution. Therefore, this course is to introduce some spatial economic models that can be used in integrated transportation and land use planning. Relative concepts and procedures will be introduced and discussed, and a series of such models used particularly to integrated land use and transportation planning will be reviewed. |
