The Victoria Transport Policy Institute has updated it's online Transportation Demand Management Encyclopedia.
Among the new entries are "Roadway Connectivity", which refers to the density of connections in a road or path network, and "Strong Commercial Centers", which are defined as: "Vibrant downtowns, business districts, urban villages and other walkable, mixed-use activity centers can provide a variety of economic, social and environmental benefits. They increase accessibility, increase travel options and reduce per capita vehicle travel. They tend to increase productivity and regional economic development."
