The Transportation and Spatial Development Model

The Transportation and Spatial Development Model explores how transportation systems influence the layout and growth of cities and regions. It examines the relationship between where people live and work, and how easily they can travel between these places. Effective transportation can lead to more compact, efficient urban areas, while poor transportation can contribute to urban sprawl. Planners use this model to design better infrastructure, ensuring that transportation supports sustainable development and enhances quality of life by making it easier for people to move and access services.
