Domain-specific¶
- Infill Development
- Vehicle-miles travelled per household is measurably lower in infill locations because destinations are reachable at shorter distances and transit becomes viable at the densities infill produces.
This sourceA meta-analysis of built-environment travel elasticities finding vehicle miles travelled most strongly related to destination accessibility, with population and job density only weakly associated with travel once other variables are controlled.

“we find that vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is most strongly related to measures of accessibility to destinations and secondarily to street network design variables”
- Vehicle-miles travelled per household is measurably lower in infill locations because destinations are reachable at shorter distances and transit becomes viable at the densities infill produces.
- Pedestrian Shed
- drives density targets around new stations and flags pedestrian-network gaps whose closure extends the effective shed. New Urbanism neighbourhood design — the five-minute walk is the ordering parameter that sets how far a neighbourhood centre can sit from its furthest resident, bounding the maximum size and walkable grain of the neighbourhood unit. Walkability and public-health research — ties shed properties (size, connectivity, destination mix) empirically to walking rates, transit ridership, and related health outcomes
This sourceA meta-analysis pooling elasticities that relate street-network design, land-use diversity and destination proximity to walking, and proximity to transit and network design to bus and train use.

“Walking is most strongly related to measures of land use diversity, intersection density, and the number of destinations within walking distance.”

- Walkability
- Ewing and Cervero's five D's — density, diversity of land uses, design, destination accessibility, distance to transit — each probe a component of the bundle, and empirical evidence finds that all five contribute independently to pedestrian mode choice

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 3 of 3 citations: 3 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
