LAND USE ANALYSIS

Future land use scenarios are fundamental to most travel demand forecasts. These scenarios are more than just an arithmetic exercise; different levels and dispositions of population and employment are the product of myriad forces across society - also they represent winners and losers. We provide detailed analysis and review of existing forecasts, against historical development and examine the key drivers of land use change, such as fluctuating internal and net overseas migration, looming demographic transitions, influences of technical innovations and patterns of economic structural shifts to provide deep context for policy proposals.
