The SCATTER project - Sprawling Cities And Transport: from Evaluation to Recommendations
SCATTER is a project under the European Commission DG Research, which started on January 1st 2002 and will last until June 2004. SCATTER tackles the issue of urban sprawl, in particular in the context of cities implementing new suburban public transport services. To limit the effects of suburban car use, numerous European cities are implementing suburban public transport services, such as heavy or light rail, linking the suburban areas and the urban centre. But by improving the accessibility, the authorities simultaneously create an incentive for a new wave of urban sprawl. In parallel with these new public transport services, accompanying measures have therefore to be elaborated and implemented, in order to prevent, mitigate or control urban sprawl. The SCATTER project tackles this issue. For the covering abstract see ITRD E126595.
