APPENDIX 1

TPS 2017 BURSARY COMPETITION SUBJECT

INTEGRATED TRANSPORT & LAND-USE PLANNING

We regard integration of transport planning and land-use planning as essential. There are many examples of the importance of interactions between the two, both for individual development sites and for wider areas. Many developments rely on improved transport links to support their success or transport investment can lead the way for associated development. However, in other cases land-use and transport planning have been poorly coordinated – either in operational terms or in terms of timing – and there may have been undesirable outcomes.

What TPS wants

We would like to see what lessons can be learned from past experience of transport and land-use integration, good or bad.

What you have to do

Identify a development (a site, an area) completed within the last 10 years where transport planning and land-use planning have been integrated at least to some extent. Whatever the success of the outcome, we would like you to consider issues of this nature :

-what were the objectives of the integrated planning and to what extent were they maintained or compromised during the planning phase?

-to what extent was transport an essential supporting or leading factor? Should more weight have been attached to transport issues and should transport have played a stronger role? Was funding an issue?

-what have been the outcomes in terms of both land-use development and transport? Have objectives been achieved?

-have unforeseen events overtaken the original intentions?

-how well are the transport aspects of the plan working?Should more flexibility have been incorporated into the transport plan?

We recommend research and analysis of the transport outcomes – accessibility analysis, employee surveys, trip generation surveys etc., followed by a comparative analysis with forecasts or expectations at the planning stage.

And overall, how can this experience be used to improve the land-use/transport planning process?
