TRANSPORT, LAND-USE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. CHAPTER 19: A SEQUENTIAL LAND USE/TRANSPORTATION MODEL WITH EXTERNALITIES: LINKING THE DYNAMICS OF REGIONAL ECONOMIC GROWTH AND URBAN SPATIAL STRUCTURE

The authors suggest that the process of metroplitan economic growth drives transformations in the spatial structure of the activity system. This study depicts the the dynamics of land use patterns, integrating Chenery's regional economic development processes into an activity location model. Structural transformations are revealed by non-proportional growth across sectors. Economic development produces changes in input-output relationships that are translated into updated transhipments between activities. A model is described which accounts for interactions between a) a priori profitabilities, b) transport costs defined by a congestive transport network, c) externalities, d) relocation costs and e) technological change.
