Abstract

The continuing growth of urban regions coupled with their strong interactions with transportation systems places great emphasis on the coevolution of these systems. In this paper we introduce three developments. First, as a preliminary, the dynamic model of the evolution of retail structure is extended to show how hierarchies emerge. Secondly, these ideas are applied to a model of the evolution in transport networks. Thirdly, it is shown that such a model can be translated into a planning context and the notion of an explicitly hierarchical dynamic model is introduced. An example of the use of such a model of evolution within a network planning context is presented. This explores the planning of network evolution in a case study of Naples arising from a new harbour which is under construction. The model provides a new method for transport system planning through combining the insights from dynamic modelling, particularly with respect to the sequencing of investment, with the practicalities of budget constraints.
