Produktbeschreibung
Land use models have been widely used in metropolitan
planning and urban policy-making to explore aspects
of urban form and development, and to predict the
impacts of new plans or policies. While a large
volume of studies has been devoted to the development
and modifications of employment and residential
allocation models, relatively small amounts of
attention has been paid to the land consumption
components. This book provides a comprehensive model
and associated methods to quantify the complex
relationships and spatial variations of residential
and employment land consumption patterns in a
metropolitan region. Both theoretical and
methodological issues are addressed. The empirical
analysis was conducted with cases of four major
metropolitan areas in the U.S., including Atlanta,
GA, Chicago, IL, Sacramento, CA, and San Antonio, TX.
This book should be especially useful to
professionals in urban modeling or land use
simulation fields. It will also be useful for anyone
who may be interested in the organization of urban
spatial structure, land use patterns, or metropolitan
growth management.
