Synopsis

As cities around the globe respond to rapid technological changes and political pressures, coordinated transport and land use planning is an often targeted aim.

Metropolitan Transport and Land Use, the second edition of Planning for Place and Plexus, provides unique and updated perspectives on metropolitan transport networks and land use planning, challenging current planning strategies, offering frameworks to understand and evaluate policy, and suggesting alternative solutions.

The book includes current and cutting-edge theory, findings, and recommendations which are cleverly illustrated throughout using international examples. This revised work continues to serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, practitioners, and policy advisors working across transport, land use, and planning.

Review:

'A lively, engaging book...which uses neoclassical economic principles...in a digestible format. The authors go so far as to draw from the film "Thelma and Louise" to show how game theory can be applied in predicting whether someone will drive or take public transit.  This provocative, highly relevant book deserves to be on the bookshelf of everyone concerned with urban planning and transportation.'
