GRAPHICS IN AN URBAN AND TRANSPORT PLANNING RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT

The use of computer graphics as a research tool in urban and transport planning, using both mainframe systems and microcomputers is demonstrated. Graphics are used to display data relating to urban population characteristics, and is also used as an aid in the analysis and modelling of urban land use and transport systems, energy consumption, and environmental impacts. Census- type data provide the major source of information on urban populations for planners, and the use of graphics techniques for display in an interactive microcomputer environment, is shown to provide a powerful new medium for assimilating and understanding these data.
