ABSTRACT
The aim of this chapter is to offer an historical review of urban modelling involving location, transport and the relationships between them and to assess the most important directions for future research in this field. The emphasis on location-transport relationships provides a useful basis for structuring an analysis. Our intention is to: (a) describe the state-of-the-art (beginning in Section 2.2); (b) identify the main directions in which this work is advancing; and (c) look at the most promising avenues of research, with the aim of establishing how research efforts can be most effectively channelled in the future (in Section 2.3).
