Funded Activity Summary

Quantifying the Accessibility of Urban Development Proposals: Moving Towards Sustainability in Urban Growth and Renewal. Improved accessibility, particularly by non-automobile transport modes, is an explicit goal in transport, environment, and land use policies. The hypothesis to be tested is that it is possible to develop a measure to assess the potential of any proposed urban development, whether it be new urban growth or an urban renewal/in-fill project, to achieve sought after changes in travel behaviour that will move urban development in sustainable directions. The proposal develops a GIS-based decision-support system that uses accessibility as an attribute of a land use development proposal rather than as an attribute of the transport system.
