How to create the city areas located near the airport including the rapid aglomeration railway system

Abstract

City spatial development is strongly connected with the transport systems development. One of the spatial structure model type could determine implementation of the ecofriendly transport, whilst the other could affect against of the sustainable transport system. We consider three spatial development of the city models: linear city, radiant city and grid city. The article presents analysis of each city models, taking into account the implementation of the ecofriendly transport system modes and impact on the transport congestion reduction. Based on that, the evaluation criteria was proposed. Including the multicriteria decision-making models the best type of the city structure model was selected. The chosen criteria consider the transportation aspects (pedestrian accessibility, public transport accessibility, level of the public transport service for the area, bicycle infrastructure development, car traffic distribution) and the urban planning issue (polycentric city direction, the spatial intensity around the public transport stops, distance limitation, the city development possibilities). The article presents also the case study for Polish city (Warsaw) – as one type of the city structure model, where the integration between the spatial development and transport system was tested.
