URBAN OASES: DEALING WITH DENSITIES, AND A ROLE FOR AFFORDABLE APM SHUTTLES AND LOOPS

This paper reviews the spacial, financial, and environmental costs of car parking, and the forcing effects of these factors on urban sprawl. As a means of containing the sprawl, it projects the concentration of new growth within compact new residentially based, pedestrian zoned and landscaped communities, based upon infrastructures of short-range automated guideway transit, or people movers. The advantages of this localized approach to APM deployment are seen as technical simplicity, economy, and the advancement of more compact land use.
