IT IS SUGGESTED THAT CBD OFFICE EMPLOYMENT MIGHT DECENTRALIZE IF TELECOMMUNICATIONS COULD EFFECTIVELY SUBSTITUTE FOR SHORT INTER-OFFICE BUSINESS TRIPS AND THAT DECENTRALIZATION WOULD ALTER JOURNEY-TO-WORK PATTERNS AND THE VIABILITY OF CERTAIN PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEMS. MAJOR RESEARCH QUESTIONS ARE RAISED AND KEYED TO AN EXTENSIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY. /NTIS/
