Multi-Scalar Mapping of Transit-Oriented Assemblages: Metropolitan Mobilities, Neighbourhood Morphologies and Station Design

Abstract

With the vast expansion of cities enabled by motorised transport, the conjunction between metropolitan and neighbourhood mobilities has attracted increasing attention in transport and urban research. Within these fields, transit-oriented urbanism has become a key paradigm for environmentally sustainable, healthy and creative environments. While the importance of urban design has been acknowledged, research has generally focused on exploring correlations between metrics of built form characteristics and transport, health or environmental outcomes. However, many of these metrics are not capturing the spatial complexity of actual urban forms and are poor proxies for capacities for movement. Urb..
