Abstract:The idea of urban compaction has long been proposed and promoted to address the problem of urban sprawl in many American cities. Nevertheless, successful cases of implementing urban compaction in the United States are rare. This study uses a classic gravity model, TELUM (Transportation, Economic, and Land-Use Model), to examine the extent to which a land-use or transportation policy must be regulated to make the urban compaction occur in a typical auto dependent city—Fresno, California. Five scenarios are considered: BL, L1, L2, T1, and T2. The BL is a natural growth scenario. The results will be used as benchmark for further comparisons. The L1 and L2 are land-use related policies, such as high-density zoning and growth boundary policies, which have been widely used to arrest urban sprawl in many cities. The T1 and T2 are designed as transportation interventions to the allocation of future developments to investigate whether transportation would play a role in the transformation of urban compaction.
