The issues relating to urban form, transport planning and energy consumption have been debated in detail over the past decade. This paper revisits this issue with particular emphasis on energy use in the context of urban areas. This paper focuses specifically on transport energy use (subsequently generally referred to as 'energy'), urban area, and relevant population density (in this paper generally referred to as 'density'). The references provide further explanation of these parameters which is essential to the understanding of the issue.
