Abstract
In this case study the mobility effects of the following five urbanisation variants were calculated: (1) the `compact city separated'; (2) the `incremental city'; (3) `new cities along axes'; (4) the `mixed band city 1'; and (5) the `mixed band city 2'. The study area was the North Holland part of the `Noordvleugel' region. The urbanisation variants were worked out for the 2005-2015 period. The results of the variants for the year 2015 were compared with the 'basic situation' in 2005. In each variant an increase was shown of the total mobility and car use compared with the year 2005.The urbanisation design principles used for the five variants caused clearly different urbanisation structures.
