population, economic activities, new urban developments) and“derives” the transport demand accordingly

The role of transport planning in the urban development :a retrospective outlook toward an integrated approach
1990 - today• The performances of the transportation system are assumed to
affect some land use variables (e.g. distribution of populationand activities, the dwelling prices,…)
• The interactions among Transport and Land-Use variables isexplicitly considered
Land-use/transport Interactions (LUTI) models
TRANSPORT-LAND USE INTERACTION AT METROPOLITAN SCALE
Why it is necessary to forecast the LUTI? 1. to forecast future mobility taking into account spatial
transformation, in particular the one derived from transport supply interventions
2. to evaluate how and how much transport supply interventions, through:• accessibility level increase• commuting cost reduction
can lead spatial transformation towards urban and regional planning objectives ( i.e. towards polycentrism)

ACCESSIBILITY ANALYSIS
• Lack of funding to implement the whole plan requires the definition of priorities
• A methodology based on Public Transport accessibility is proposed to identified a ranking among the centralities to be implemented first
ACCESSIBILITY ANALYSISMethodology
• Define the Public Transport accessibility indicators– Passive accessibility of services w.r.t. to
population and to emploees– Active of population towards the workplaces
• Compute the accessibility for the zone belonging to the centralities of the PRG
• Ranking the centralities according to their accessibility (to be used together with other indicators)
Passive Accessibility of the activities located in the generic zone “d” w.r.t. the Population in the study area

CONCLUSIONS
Land-Use / Transports Interactions models • Land-Use / Transports Interactions models allow to better
estimate the impacts of transport infrastructures on the mobility and network performances
• In facts, LUTI models allow to estimated the relocation of population and certain activities (e.g. commerce and private services) due to the changing transport cost and zonal accessibility
• In this respect the estimated impacts on land use are useful to verify the coherence among transport and territorial planning goals
CONCLUSIONS
PT Accessibility analysis• In the case study presented the PT accessibility analysis has
allowed us to identify a ranking between the zones subjected to new developments
Densification vs. polycentric development• Polycentric development may increase the average distance of
the trips (and therefore the externalities related to road traffic)• This suggest to prioritize the densification of those areas with
higher accessibility more than to develop new “urban poles” in peripheral areas
