RAPID TRANSIT AND OFFICE DEVELOPMENT

The Lindewold rapid transit service has had a considerable impact upon the commercial office market in the Philadelphia region. The line is acting simultaneously to consolidate the Philadelphia central business district as a prime office location and to promote the development of new suburban office locations. All the implications of these developments will require further analysis. It is suggested that theoretical and empirical analyses of urban rapid transit impact might well be tested in the Philadelphia region and that a complete appraisal will require the passage of more time.
