ULI's Urban Land Magazine features an in-depth article on the future of transportation in a nation driven by urban sprawl. Written by Christopher Lee, senior transportation researcher at Diagnostic Plus in State College, Pennsylvania, the article explores a bus rapid transit model, pedestrian extending (PEX), parking requirement, and personal rapid transit (PRT) systems. Lee also evaluates the argument that higher density will reduce automobile use over the next 25 years.
