Transport Models in Urban Planning Practices: Tensions and Opportunities in a Changing Planning Context

The role that transportation models can play in a changing transportation planning and policy making context is explored in this book. While most models are geared towards offering value-free, academic and explicit knowledge to transportation planning experts and are rooted in decades of development work, planning practice has changed dramatically over the years, which has resulted in a less technical rational view on the use of such knowledge. This is especially true in the early, strategy making phases. This book maps the influences of more and more complex policy goals, integration of a wide area of other policy domains, and a wider and more mixed group of planning participants on the effectiveness of transportation modeling exercises. Several state-of-the-art implementations are explored, as well. Other topics include the following: integrating land use with public transportation; urban planning; modeling with systems dynamics; and knowledge filtering.
