Abstract

The potential for gradually restructuring urban areas to reduce the built-in requirements for transportation is investigated. Transportation requirements of some alternative urban spatial structures are analyzed and a computer-directed search procedure is developed. It is indicated that by moving about one-third to one-half of the people and about one-third of the jobs to other locations, substantial reductions in travel requirements could be obtained while overall access levels are improved.
