MOVING IN THE METROPOLIS: THE DEMAND SIDE

Transportation during the last half of the 20th century has made it possible to sustain extraordinary rates of growth in the giant metropolitan areas of the world. The transportation facilities that helped build the cities, however, are running into trouble. Included in this discussion is information on changing transportation patterns, public-private cooperation to adapt to the new conditions, and urban development that integrates work and housing locations. Several examples are given of cities with growth policies that led to new suburban settlements tied to the central city by rail transit, allowing redevelopment of the old city.
