Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Developing sustainable cities, which entails consensus and collaboration, is encouraged by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. A prerequisite for sustainable urban planning and development is the integration and coordinated development of transport (spatial interaction) and land use (spatial development). In recent years, the integration of transport and land use has entered the public discourse, and its significance has been greatly emphasized. An enriched understanding of the interaction between transport and land use is of theoretical and practical importance for achieving transport–land use integration and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on the interaction between transport and land use for sustainable urban planning and development. This Special Issue offers a platform to share the latest accomplishments and research findings about the interaction between transport and land use, especially those with profound theoretical, methodological, and practical implications and those focusing on new theories, data, variables, models, sites, and implications.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Shared mobility and transit-oriented development (TOD);
- Implications of emerging transport technologies;
- Smart growth and integration of land use and transport;
- Transit development and urban/community renewal;
- Intercity commute by high-speed railway and regional integration;
- Planning for urban and rural integration: land use and transport;
- Accessibility modeling and planning;
- Effects of land use on travel behavior;
- Interplay between transport emissions and land use.
