Summary
Although the complex interactions between land use and transport are often acknowledged and appreciated, the state of practice in evaluating infrastructure investment decisions is to fall back on purely transport- and mobility-related metrics. Especially when there is large economic inequality among citizens, answering the questions “Who gets the infrastructure benefits?” and “Who pays for the infrastructure?” become loaded and controversial.
