Study of Rail Transit and Urban Spatial Structure Based on Urban Economics

Risheng Li

Abstract


The spatial changes of utilization intensity of urban lands are decided by the dual substitute relation of transportation costs and rent’s substitute and elements substitute (producer) or consumption substitute (residence). The land use intensity affects the urban spatial form directly. This paper aims to study the relation between construction of rail transit and urban spatial form from the perspectives of urban economics, urban traffic conditions and spatial structure evolution. It takes the metropolitan areas of Tokyo and Singapore as sample cases to analyse the influence of urban development brought by the rail transit.

Keywords
