1. Elements of the Urban Form
■ Urbanization• Dominant trend of economic and social change.
• Especially in the developing world.
• Growing size of cities.
• Increasing proportion of the urbanized population:• More than doubled since 1950.
• Nearly 3 billion in 2000, about 47% of the global population.
• 50 million urbanites each year, roughly a million a week.
• By 2050, 6.2 billion people, about two thirds of humanity, will be urban
residents.• Due to demographic growth and rural to urban migration.
■ Urban mobility issues• Increased proportionally with urbanization.

1. Elements of the Urban Form
■ Urban transportation• Requirements of collective, individual and freight transportation.
• Composed of modes, infrastructures and users.
• Urban transport modes:
• May complementary to one another or competing.• Transit is a urban form of transportation (high ridership and short
distances).
• Urban transport infrastructures:• Physical form used by modes.
• Consume space and structure the city.• Urban transport users:
• Wide variety of socioeconomic conditions.
• Variety of spatial conditions.
• Urban transport as a choice or a constraint.

1. Elements of the Urban Form
■ Collective Transportation (public transit)• Provide publicly accessible mobility over specific parts of a city.
• Benefiting from economies of scale.
• Tramways, buses, trains, subways and ferryboats.
■ Individual Transportation• Includes the car, walking, cycling and the motorcycle.
• People walk to satisfy their basic mobility.
■ Freight Transportation
• Cities are dominant production and consumption centers.• Activities are accompanied by large movements of freight.
• Delivery trucks converging to industries, warehouses and retail
activities.
• Major terminals.

1. Elements of the Urban Form
■ Density issues• Modern cities:
• Inherited an urban form created in the past.
• Can be monocentric or polycentric (more common).
• Movements are organized or disorganized.
• European, Japanese and Chinese:• Tend to be monocentric.
• Movements tend to be organized.
• 30 to 60% of all trips by walking and cycling.
•
Australian and American cities:• Built recently and encourages automobile dependency.
• Tend to be polycentric.
• Movements tend to be disorganized.

2. Evolution of Transportation and Urban Form
■ Evolution of transportation• Led to a change in most urban forms.
• New central areas expressing new urban activities (suburbs).
• Central business district (CBD):
• Once the primary destination of commuters and serviced by publictransportation.
• Challenged by changing manufacturing, retailing and management
practices.
• Emergence of sub-centers in the periphery.
•
Manufacturing:• Traditional manufacturing depended on centralized workplaces and
transportation.
• Technology has rendered modern industry more flexible.

2. Evolution of Transportation and Urban Form
■ Contemporary changes• Dispersed urban land development patterns:
• Abundant land, low transportation costs, tertiary industries.
• Strong relationship between urban density and car use.
• Faster growth rate of built areas than population growth.
• Decentralization of activities:• Commuter journeys have remained relatively similar in duration.
• Commuting tends to be longer and made by privately owned cars rather
than by public transportation.
• Most transit and road systems were developed to facilitate suburb-to-city,
rather than suburb-to-suburb, commuting.
• Suburban highways are often as congested as urban highways.

2. Evolution of Transportation and Urban Form
■ Constance in commuting time• Most people travel less than 30 minutes in order to get to work.
• People are spending about 1.2 hours per day commuting.
• Different transport technologies are associated with different
travel speeds and capacity.• Cities that rely primarily on non-motorized transport tend to be
different than auto-dependent cities.
• United States:• Lowest average commuting time in the world, around 25 minutes in 1990.

3. The Spatial Imprint of Urban Transportation
■ Land for transportation• Pre-automobile era:
• About 10% of the land of a city was devoted to transportation.
• A growing share of urban areas is allocated to circulation.
•
Variations of the spatial imprint of urban transportation:• Between different cities.
• Between different parts of a city (central and peripheral areas).
• Private car:• Requires space to move around (roads).
• Spends 98% of its existence stationary in a parking space.• Consumes a significant amount of urban space.
• 10% of the arable land of the United States allocated for the car.

3. The Spatial Imprint of Urban Transportation
■ Components of the spatial imprint of urban transportation• Pedestrian areas:
• Amount of space devoted to walking.
• Space is often shared with roads as sidewalks may use between 10%
and 20% of a road's right of way.
• In central areas, pedestrian areas tend to use a greater share of the right
of way (whole areas may be reserved only for pedestrians).
• Most of pedestrian areas are servicing access to parked automobiles.
• Roads and parking areas:• Amount of space devoted to road transportation, which has two states of
activity; moving or parked
• On average 30% of the urban surface is devoted to roads.
• Another 20% is required for off-street parking
• For each car there is about 2 off-street and 2 on-street parking spaces.
• Roads and parking lots: between 30 to 60% of the total urban surface.

3. The Spatial Imprint of Urban Transportation
• Cycling areas:• In a disorganized form, cycling simply share access to road space.
• Many attempts to create a space specific to the circulation of bicycles in
urban areas, namely with reserved lanes and parking facilities.
• Transit systems:• Many transit systems, such as buses and tramways, are sharing road
areas, which often impairs their efficiency.
• Subways and rail have their own infrastructures and their own areas.
• Creation of road lanes reserved to buses.
• Transport terminals:
• Amount of space devoted to terminal facilities such as ports, airports,railyards and distribution centers.
• Globalization increased the amount of people and freight circulation and
the amount of urban space required to support those activities.
• Many major terminals are located in the peripheral areas of cities, which
are the only locations where sufficient amounts of land is available.

4. Transportation and the Urban Structure
■ Type I - Completely Motorized Network• Car-dependent city with a limited centrality:
• Massive network of high capacity highways.
• Large parking lots.
• Low to average land use densities.
• Public transit is having a residual function.
• Relationship between commercial / industrial / residential space
and parking space.
• Secondary road converges at highways, along which small
centers are located, notably nearby interchanges.• Examples:
• Cities where urban growth occurred in the second half of the twentieth
century:
• Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver and Dallas.

4. Transportation and the Urban Structure
■ Type II - Weak Center • Average land use densities and a concentric pattern.
• CBD offers slightly more jobs than it is possible to move by car.
• Under-used public transit system:
• Unprofitable in most instances and thus requires subsidies.• Impossible to serve all the territory with the transit system.
• Ring roads:• Emergence a set of small centers in the periphery.
• Convergence of radial lines, some of them effectively competing with the
downtown area for the location of economic activities.• Examples:
• Older cities that emerged if the first half of the twentieth century:
• Melbourne, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago and Montreal.

4. Transportation and the Urban Structure
■ Type III - Strong Center • High land use density:
• High levels of accessibility to urban transit.
• Limited needs for highways and parking space in the central area.
•
High capacity and efficient public transit servicing most of themobility needs.
• Convergence of radial roads and ring roads:• Location of secondary centers, where activities that could no longer able
to afford a central location have located.
•Examples:
• Cities having important commercial and financial function.
• Growth in the late 18th century.
• Paris, New York, Shanghai, Toronto, Sydney and Hamburg.

4. Transportation and the Urban Structure
■ Type IV - Traffic Limitation• Average-sized cities having a high land use density that were
planned to limit the usage of the car in central zones.
• Limited driving and parking spaces are available.
•“Funnel effect“:
• Public transit is used in the central area.
• Individual transportation takes a greater importance in the periphery.
• Keeps cars from the central areas while giving mobility in the suburbs.
• Examples:
• Cities having a long planning history aiming to provide mobility by publictransit.
• Historical downtown area protected from heavy circulation.
• London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vienna and Stockholm.

1. The Land Use - Transport System
■ Urban land use• Nature and level of spatial accumulation of activities.
• Human activities imply a multitude of functions:• Production, consumption and distribution.
•
Activity system:• Locations and spatial accumulation form land uses.
• The behavioral patterns of individuals, institutions and firms will
have an imprint on land use.
■ Land use relationships• Land use implies a set of relationships with other land uses.
• Commercial land use:• Relationships with its supplier and customers.
• Relationships with suppliers: related with movements of freight.
• Relationships with customers: movements of passengers.

■ Concentric paradigm• Land use of function of distance from a nucleus.
■ Sector and nuclei paradigm• Influences of transport axis and several nuclei on land use.
■ Hybrid paradigm• Try to integrate the strengths of each representation.
■ Land rent paradigm• Land use as a market where different urban activities are
competing for land usage at a location.
