This TCRP Digest summarizes the results of Phase I of TCRP Project H-1, "An Evaluation of the Relationships Between Transit and Urban Form". The objectives of this phase were to 1) review the existing literature on transit and urban form relations, 2) develop a framework to synthesize this knowledge, 3) identify gaps in current knowledge, and 4) develop the research plan for the balance of the project. This Digest, which brings together the results of more than 30 years of theoretical and practical examinations of transit and urban form relationships, provides a base of knowledge for future planning and decision making. The research plan will be implemented in Phase II. The contents of this Digest are organized as follows: (1.1) Introduction; (1.2) The Changing Urban Form of North American Cities; (1.3) Transit Impacts on Urban Form and Land Use; (1.4) Urban Form and Land-Use Impacts on Transit Demand; (1.5) Interactive Impacts of Transit and Urban Form; and (1.6) Research in Progress. A Bibliography is included. |
