Study reviews the status of integrated land use-transportation scenario planning in U.S. metropolitan areas.
Over the past 15 years, land use-transportation scenario planning has become an increasingly common technique in regional and sub-regional planning processes. This study investigates the breadth of the technique and some of the themes that are emerging by reviewing 80 scenario planning projects from more than 50 metropolitan areas in the U.S. The study identifies the antecedents to current land use-transportation scenario planning, observes trends emerging from the recent examples, and explores whether the technique has entered the state of the practice in land use-transportation planning. The study provides references to an annotated bibliography and a digital library containing information on source data.
