A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The major aspects of the land use-highway relationship are stated, and several methods of bringing it into balance, are suggested. Lines of transportation inevitably determine patterns of land use, so that whoever plans the location of expressways to a large extent, commits the future land use plan. Both adverse and beneficial effects of expressways on adjacent areas are discussed, and examples are cited. The essential purpose of the expressway is to move people and goods, quickly, efficiently, economically, and safely. The functional efficiency of the highway is often impaired by failure to consider emerging land uses induced by the expressway, resulting, in several years, in problems of congestion and insufficient capacity in interchange areas.
