Abstract

In the debate on the impacts of land use on transport two questions are of particular importance: (1) does land use affect travel behaviour and (2) if land use affects travel behaviour, should land-use policies be partly based on (expected or assumed) transport impacts? There is enough evidence to conclude that land use can influence travel behaviour. However, this does not mean that policy-makers should choose land-use alternatives with the lowest level of car use. Possible future land-use and transport plans should be evaluated according to a broad range of factors. Several challenges for research and policy-making related to these aspects are presented here.
