INNOVATIONS IN TRANSPORT/LAND USE URBAN STRUCTURES, THE EXPERIENCE OF THE BRITISH NEW TOWNS
The author uses the example of new towns in the United Kingdom (Milton Keynes, Runcorn, Redditch) to investigate a method of designing urban structures capable of resolving, or at least minimising, the operational conflict between private cars and public transport. The principles of the method are : (1) to determine the size of residential areas by the population needed to maintain a frequent public transport service; (2) to increase residential densities towards public transport routes; (3) to keep low density uses to the edge of catchment areas; (4) to arrange residential areas, employment centres, shopping and major travel generating land uses so as to provide "corridors" of public transport movement.
