URBAN FORM AND URBAN FORM AND TRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION
Graduate School of EngineeringDepartment of Civil Engineering
• The invention of means of transportation – mainly the car – had the biggest impact on the urban form than anything that came before it.
• Before the means of transportation became widely available to the public, industrial cities’ sizes were determined by the walking distance from one’s house to one’s work place.
• But along with means of transportation came new challenges for the urban forms. There was a sudden surge of uncontrolled development in the suburbs and other remote areas, often referred to as ‘sprawl’. Thus the geographical growth of cities has stopped being relevant to their population levels.
• The basic, underlying reason for this was not the transportation itself directly but rather what today is called the Land Rent Rule.
• The structure of land use has an important impact over transport demand and over the capacity of transport systems to answer such needs.
• Though the main objective of transportation is to overcome the friction of space, it also is a great consumer of space – which is most expensive in urban areas. In some cities as much as 60% of overall space is dedicated to road infrastructure (vs. 10% in the pre-automobile era).
• At the urban level, demographic and mobility growth have been shaped by the capacity and requirements of urban transport infrastructures, let it be roads, transit systems or simply walkways. Consequently there is a wide variety of urban forms, spatial structures and associated urban transportation systems.

Urban Form and Transportation
Graduate School of EngineeringDepartment of Civil Engineering
• Urban form is determined by the spatial imprint of an urban transport system as well as the adjacent physical infrastructures and activities. Jointly, they confer a spatial arrangement of cities.
• Since originally cities have been restricted by walking distances, their urban forms were compacted and activity nodes agglomerated. Many European and Asian cities inherited urban form under such circumstances.
• Urban transportation is thus associated with a spatial form which varies according to models being used. Many cities in turn (mainly in America) develop a spatial structure that increases reliance on mechanized transportation.
• There is also a strong and varying relationship between urban density and car use. For instance, between 1950 and 1990 while the population of Chicago grew by 38% its build area grew by 124%.
• Finally, transport technology plays a very important role in defining urban form, i.e.., the spatial extent of the build up area and the spatial pattern of various activities.
• As a means of transportation, car has the lowest capacity and consumes the greatest amount of space – since it lays idle for about 98% of its time – but it also is the fastest, placing a heavily car dependant America at the top of the fastest commuters to work.
Urban Form and Transportation
Graduate School of EngineeringDepartment of Civil Engineering
• The major components of the spatial imprint of urban transportation are: pedestrian, roads and parking, cycling, transit systems, transport terminals. Large variations of the spatial imprint of urban transportation are observed between different cities as well as between different parts of a city, such as between central and peripheral areas.
• Rapid and expanded urbanization occurring around the world involve a greater number of people living in cities and increased numbers of trips in urban areas. Cities have traditionally responded to growth in travel demand by expanding the transportation supply, by building new highways and/or transit lines. In the developed world, that has meant building more roads to accommodate an ever-growing number of vehicles, therefore creating new urban structures. Several urban spatial structures have emerged, with the reliance on the car being the most important discriminatory factor. Four major types can be identified at the metropolitan scale [Thomson, 1977]:
• Type I – Completely Motorized Network – Representing a car-dependant city with limited centrality (ex: Los Angeles).
• Type II – Weak Center – Representing the spatial structure of many American cities where many activities are located in the periphery (ex: Boston, Chicago)
• Type III – Strong Center – Representing high density urban centers with well-developed urban transit systems, particularly Europe and Asia.
• Type IV – Traffic Limitation – representing urban areas that have efficiently implemented traffic control and modal preference in their spatial structure. Commonly the central area is dominated by public transit. There cities were planned in advance to achieve just that, taking advantage of the “funnel effect” – that is: public transport is used in the central area, while individual transportation takes a greater importance in the periphery.

• The previously mentioned spatial structure can also be expressed at different scales where transportation systems influence the structure of communities, districts and the whole metropolitan area. For instance, one of the most significant impacts of transportation on the urban structure has been the clustering of activities near areas of high accessibility.
• Facing the expansion of urban areas and the increasing importance of inter-urban movements, several ring roads were built around major cities. They became an important attribute of the spatial structures of cities, notably in North America. Highway interchanges in suburban areas are notable examples. The extension (and the over-extension) of urban areas have created what may be called peri-urban areas. They are located well outside the urban core and the suburbs, but are within reasonable commuting distances.

Smart Growth Management for Planning
Smart growth is a general term for land use practices that create more accessible land use patterns which reduce the amount of travel needed to reach goods and services. (Mobility Management, GTZ 2003)
How Can We Achieve
1. Create more self-contained communities (Reduce average trip distances, and encourage walking, cycling and transit travel, by locating schools, shops and recreation facilities in or adjacent to residential areas).
2. Encourage quality, compact development. (Allow and encourage higher density development, particularly around transit and commercial centers. Demand high quality design to address problems associated with higher density).
3. Concentrate activities. (Encourage walking and transit by creating “nodes” of high-density, mixed development linked by convenient transit service. Concentrate commercial activities in these areas. Retain strong downtowns and central business districts. Use access management to discourage arterial strip commercial development.)
4. Encourage transit-oriented development. (Encourage dense development within walking distance (0.4 to 0.8 km) of transit stops, and provide high quality pedestrian and cycling facilities in those areas).

Problema) In 1955, the quality of public transportation was very
low.b) There was no timetable established for the buses.c) Conflict among the 150 bus owners, who were
operating public transportation in the city.
PlanPublic transport system was not included in Agache Plan.
ImplementationCuritiba issued the following regulations:1) Fares, timetable and frequency of buses were to be
established by the municipality;2) Municipality now responsible for the planning of
the public transportation;3) The city was divided into 9 operation sectors;4) The 150 bus owner were to be grouped into 13
companies and each company was given permission to operate with exclusivity in a portion of the city.
Resultsa) With this system, anyone who wished to go to a sector
operated by a different company, had to go to the center first, and there take another bus. One company could not circulate in another company’s sector.
b) A consensus was reached among the companies.c) The quality of transportation was improved.

INTEGRATING LAND USE AND INTEGRATING LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION PLANNINGTRANSPORTATION PLANNING
Case Study II : SingaporeCase Study II : Singapore
Graduate School of EngineeringDepartment of Civil Engineering
• Singapore has 3.6 million people living in a total area of just 646 square kilometers, making it one of the most densely populated and urbanized countries in the world.
• Rapid industrialization and intensive development have required a corresponding growth in transport infrastructure.
• Roads currently take up about 12% of total land area.
• Given the scarcity of land, the push factor is to develop a comprehensive rapid transit network with dedicated rights of way, transporting large numbers of people to their destination quickly and reliably.
SINGAPORE’S CHALLENGE
Case Study II : Singapore
Graduate School of EngineeringDepartment of Civil Engineering
• Singapore has chosen integrating the goals of transportation planning with land use planning which had been set out since the Concept Plan 1971. As travel is always made with a purpose, the amount and number of travels can be reduced by means of effective land use and transport planning. For example, by proper location of homes, offices and other uses in relation to the transport system.
• Singapore’s government used ‘land banking’, buying land around the metro rail transit system before and during construction, and re-selling some of this land at a profit which in turn financed the construction of high density moderate income housing around the MRT stations.
• Singapore’s government also developed a network of bike and pedestrian paths to MRT stations, and provided extensive bicycle parking facilities at the MRT stations.
SINGAPORE’S STRATEGY (1)
Case Study II : Singapore
Graduate School of EngineeringDepartment of Civil Engineering
In the 1991 Revised Concept Plan, transport considerations resulted two key land use planning strategies:
• Decentralizing commercial and other economic activities through the development of regional, sub-regional, fringe centers of MRT stations. This has resulted in better utilization of MRT network in both directions during peak hours. Therefore, Singapore aimed for a proper mix of residential, industrial, and even institutional developments, and the highest plot ratios at and around MRT stations (White Paper of Transportation Planning, 1996).
• Reducing the need for people to travel by locating employment centers like in industrial estates, business park and commercial centers near residential areas. Specifically, more homes would be built in the western part of island while more employment centers would be created in the eastern part of the island.
SINGAPORE’S STRATEGY (2)
Case Study II : Singapore
Graduate School of EngineeringDepartment of Civil Engineering
• Central to the success of Singapore model is high density urban development that is closely integrated around the transit system. Singapore’s basic urban structure plan shows a series of radial and circumferential mass transit and light rail lines with major and minor sub-center nodes developed at high densities around the intersection of all these lines (Kenworthy et al., 1994).
• The success of Singapore in integrating development around their respective rail systems is shown by high percentage of city’s total activities lying within walking distance of stations and the ease with which stations are reached either on foot or by transit.
• The story of Singapore’s successful transit system is not without its battles, nor is it without the support of highly successful policies aimed at restraining car use, such as (i) Area Licensing Scheme (ALS) introduced in 1975 to reduce morning peak commuting into CBD; (ii) long history of steep vehicle taxes; and (iii) the more recent Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system, which requires would-be car owners to bid for the right to buy a vehicle. The price of COE varies continously, but in the early 1994 it was as high as US$ 47,000, on top of the car purchase price (Straits Times, December 17, 2003).

• Singapore will continue to ensure high quality of living. The Concept Plan 2001 will provide a variety of housing choices and a comfortable living environment. The concept also includes initiatives to be flexible and responsive to the needs of businesses, to support value-added industries, and to provide for the growth of Singapore into an international business hub.
• These future expectations will create:– More intensification : industries and businesses close to MRT
stations to optimize the use of land around these important transport nodes. This will allow people to enjoy the convenience of working near an MRT station.
– More jobs closer to homes : more jobs will be provided in the North, North East, and East regions. In addition, there will be more housing in the West and in the city so that more can live to their workplace.

• Boundaries between businesses and services are blurring.
• One of the key new ideas in the Concept Plan 2001 is to have a new zoning system in the future: New Business Zone and New White Zone.
– Under the new zoning system, industrial and business activities will be grouped according to their impact on the surrounding environment. New business zones will be introduced, with B1 for non-pollutive uses and B2 for pollutive uses.
– This new "impact-based" zoning approach will allow businesses to house different uses under one roof and change activities easily without rezoning.
– A new white zone will be introduced, allowing all uses except pollutive ones.

Singapore’s Extensive
Rail Network
The Concept Plan plans for new orbital and radial lines in future. Radial lines will enable the community to travel to the city directly. Orbital lines will enable them to get from one place to another outside the Central Area more quickly. The existing 93 km of rail lines will increase to about 500 km in future.

• Intensifying developments around MRT stations alone is not sufficient to ensure good accessibility. Planners must fully integrate MRT stations with building developments and other transport modes.
• Factors influence the success of creating a transit-based urban form which expected to overcome automobile dependence are: – Developing Non-auto-dependent land uses– Favoring alternate modes– Utilizing economic penalties– Creating traffic calming
• To follow the success of Singapore, it is necessary to build:– Commitment to building up quality transit, preferably rail;– Some preparedness to introduce physical and economic restraint on
private transportation that support the investment in transit; and– Investment in relatively inexpensive improvements in the environment
for pedestrians and cyclists.
