This volume is the result of an international collaboration, which
started with a conference at Smadalaro Gfrrd in Sweden. The
workshop was supported by the National Science Foundation of the
USA (INT-9215114) and by the Swedish National Road Administration,
the Swedish Council for Building Research, the Swedish Transport
and Communications Research Board and the Swedish Council for
Planning and Coordination of Research. This support is gratefully
acknow ledged. The collaboration started as a bilateral
u.S.-Swedish endeavour but was soon widened to other scholars in
Europe, Asia, Australia and South-America. Network Infrastructure
and the Urban Environment is a policy area of growing importance.
Sustainable cities and sustainable transport systems are necessary
for attaining a sustainable development. The research and policy
field, represented in this volume, comprises a number of
challenging contrasts: - the contrast between infrastructure
investments, mobility and environmental sustainability; - the
contrast between policy contexts, modelling traditions and
available decision support systems in various parts of the world; -
the contrast between available best practice methods and the
majority of models applied in planning; the contrast between static
models of cross-sectionary equilibria and dynamic models of
disequilibrium adjustments; and the contrast between
state-of-the-art operationalland-use/transport models and new
demands for land-use/transportlenvironment models due to changing
policy contexts. Bridging some of these gaps constitutes important
research tasks, that are discussed in the twenty-two chapters of
this book. A number of emerging research directions are identified
in the introduction and summary chapter."
