America's Suburban Centers: A Study of the Land Use-Transportation Link
The report explores the evolution of suburban employment centers, and their implications for transportation and infrastructure planning. Using transportation and employment data for 57 centers in 26 of the nation's largest metropolitan areas, cluster analysis identified six characteristic kinds of development: office parks, office centers and concentrations, large scale mixed-use developments, moderate sized mixed-use developments, sub-cities, and large scale office growth corridors. Each kind of development has its own specific transportation conditions or problems associated with it, but the study concluded that higher density, more mixed-use suburban workplaces with nearby affordable housing could yield substantial mobility benefits. Detailed case studies of the Seattle, Houston, and Chicago suburbs illustrate the kinds of transportation issues facing suburban areas. Institutional, regulatory and site design initiatives which could help improve suburban mobility are also described.
