ABSTRACT

Transportation planning and land-use plan-

ning often go hand in hand at the regional or

metropolitan scale. Each type of planning influ-

ences the other because growth tends to follow

transportation networks, while transportation

networks try to anticipate growth. Planning

horizons are long, often 20 years or more, and

the study areas are large. This chapter describes

CommunityViz techniques and tools that are

unique to regional land-use and transporta-

tion analyses. Figure 11.1 summarizes these and

other regional plans and describes how Com-

munityViz supports them.
