The Assessment of Integrated Land Use and Transport Strategies in European Cities

The TRANSPLUS (TRANSport Planning Land Use and Sustainability) project was an EC supported project under the 'City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage' key action. Its aim was to identify best practice in the organization of land use and transport measures in order to reduce car dependency in European cities and regions and promote economic, social and environmental improvement. A particular focus of the study has been on policies and measures that are designed to produce a shift towards public transport and/or non-motorized modes and reduce the need for motorized transport. This paper is concerned with the assessment of the planning phase of land use and transport strategies, and examines what future scenarios/visions European cities have and how land use and transport planning strategies are used in these visions. The work is based on case studies of 23 European cities. The efforts made in these cities to adapt to their new strategies and predict outcomes through the use of monitoring systems and models are analyzed, and the role of monitoring systems and models in the decision-making process is assessed.
