| Abstract | Policy makers across the country are keenly interested in reducing emissions from driving and increasing public transit use. Guided by a large literature documenting the connections between urban sprawl, more driving and less public transit use, land-use policy has been identified as an effective tool for reversing sprawl and reducing emissions. However, land use policy by itself may be insufficient to encourage widespread compact living. But the vibrancy of the urban core may plausibly affect both land-use and transportation patterns. Some key questions this study explores are: • What is the connection between vibrancy and transportation behavior?; • Do land-use patterns depend on the vibrancy of the urban core?; and, • Can policy makers promote green cities through fostering a vibrant center core? |
