The Changing Context of Transportation Modeling: Implications of the New Economy, Intermodalism and the Drive for Environmental Quality

  • Conference paper
Network Infrastructure and the Urban Environment

Part of the book series: Advances in Spatial Science ((ADVSPATIAL))

Abstract

Over the last decade and a half, there has been a dramatic transformation of the environment in which transport infrastructure planning takes place. This transformation derives from three developments which have been gathering steam over the decade—first a structural change in the industrial production and market order and two broad changes in the policy and institutional context of transportation planning in the U.S.
