STUDY ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL URBAN FORM WHICH MINIMIZES TRAVEL COST

移動コストを最小化する立体都市形態

The purpose of this article is to obtain the optimum urban form when compact city system is formed. This article assumed that the hierarchical district centers and transportation system are formed according to the stage of life needs. As a result, the optimum urban form that minimizes travel costs shows the following characteristics. First, it has a population density decreasing by a stable fraction with distance from the district centers. Second, the urban area is determined by the ratio of vertical travel cost to horizontal one and the distance between district centers.
