TRAFFIC, FUNCTION, FORM AND DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN CENTRES

VPLIVI SODOBNEGA PROMETA NA FUNCIONALNOST IN OBLIKOVANJE MESTNEGA SREDISTA

Transport, urban development and development of urban centres is viewed in terms of spatial organization of activities and the form which urban accessibility networks and urban development take in the space. Transportation problems in urban centres are analysed and then formalized into three basic but interrelated topics: analysis of prototype patterns of development (future planned development), (patterns of possible development); environmental capacity of urban centres (present situation), (problem situations, trends); strategy for centres and transportation structure development (development potentials of selected patterns). In transportation planning theory it is the view that cities traffic and urban development planning should be coordinated. This study explores the possibilities of relating these two in practice rather unrelated aspects of urban planning at least conceptually, explaining them as parts of the same process of urban structure development in space. /TRRL/
