ABSTRACT
The modelling of urban systems based on the simple principle that there is an interaction between land use and transport goes back to the late 1950s and the early 1960s. It is towards the end of the 1950s in the United States of America when various convergent phenomena occurred to explain the surge in land use-transport interaction (LUTI) modelling. Since the end of the 1970s and during the 1980s research into the use of LUTI models continued to develop along different lines of investigation. From the 1990s onwards, the number of available LUTI models and their application to real cases continued to rise. Wegener identified 20 research centres where intense activity in LUTI modelling was taking place to evaluate different policies. He also reviewed a large part of the models that were available in the literature and chose 20 LUTI models based on different modelling techniques.
