A historical transportation planning study for the Chicago area, published in 1960.
This final report presents data projections, land-use forecasts, and travel-demand analysis conducted under state sponsorship. It covers population and economic growth, estimated land use in 1980, future trip making, mode of travel, and overall travel demand for the Chicago study region. The work blends historical trends with foreseen changes in central areas, residential and manufacturing land, and transportation facilities.
Readers will get a clear view of the methods used to forecast trips, the role of mass transportation in central areas, and how floor space and residential development could influence future traffic patterns. The report emphasizes careful consideration of forecast reliability and the impact of shifting land uses on travel behavior.
Ideal for readers of urban planning history, transportation research, and policy makers interested in mid-20th-century forecasting methods.
