Spatial Network Analysis in Vancouver
Dr Jan Scheurer, Senior Research Fellow at RMIT University, Melbourne and Curtin University, Perth, Australia. On July 2, while visiting Vancouver, he presented some of his work on "Public Transport Accessibility in Vancouver and 20 other global cities" to a group of about 30, all with an interest in urbanism and transportation. Here is the PowerPoint from that presentation. The Spatial Network Analysis for Multimodal Urban Transport Systems (SNAMUTS) tool was developed to provide standards of measurement for land use-transport integration and public transport network performance at metropolitan-wide as well as local scales. With support from the Australian Research Council, this work has now been expanded to 21 cities across Australasia, Europe and North America. We will learn about the first comparative results for Vancouver: does the city stand up to its international reputation as a model for land use-transport integration?
