The aim is to explore the economic appraisal of land-use changes using specific models.
Applied gravity models to assess changes in land use
Considered scenarios with and without legal planning constraints
Analyzed transport changes for applicability to land use
Identified effective methods for assessing land-use changes
Revealed differences in outcomes when planning controls are factored in
Demonstrated potential for broadening economic assessment techniques in planning
Abstract
Some methods used to appraise transport changes can be applied to changes in land use. The authors consider gravity models with and without the constraint of legal planning controls.
