“…These models show possible future city form scenarios based on developments as well as other models such as transportation and location choice models. To this end, the CSIR implemented an urban growth simulation model (UrbanSim) based on synthetic population data for these three metros in Gauteng (Waldeck et al, 2020). This model was used to predict urban growth and development in the three metros from 2019 to 2030.…”

There is a lack of dynamic facility location models for developing countries that consider the changes in the problem environment over time, such as patient population and population migration. Therefore, this paper focuses on using optimization and goal programming to locate health care facilities in an uncertain environment using multiple possible future urban development senarios. To achieve this, a robust multi-objective facility location model is developed and used to determine locations for container clinic deployment over multiple years in selected communities in South Africa. A synthetic population and urban growth simulation model are used to estimate population density and distribution from 2018 to 2030 for three development senarios. The results from the urban growth simulation model are then used as input into the facility location model to locate facilities whilst considering the three future development scenarios. Results of the model indicate that the robust model can be used to find locations that provide a relatively good solution to all considered development scenarios, providing key role players with quantitative decision support during network design under uncertainty. An accessibility analysis investigates the impact of the prescribed accessibility percentage on model results and a budget analysis evaluates the impact of a case that includes a budget constraint. From these two analyses it is illustrated that the model is sensitive to changes in parameters and that the model can be used by key stakeholders to combine network design and urban development planning for improved decision making.

“…As far as the existing research is concerned, the theory and practice about the impacts of intra-city transportation on land use have tended to mature, while the research on a larger scale is still in its infancy. In recent years, with the development of regional transportation integration, the effects of intercity transportation on land use in urban agglomerations and metropolitan areas have become one of the main directions of future research [25,26]. At present, existing studies have mainly analyzed the changes in land use over different time periods through the establishment of buffer zones of high-speed railway or motorway lines [27,28].…”

Coordination between the construction of transport infrastructure and the development and protection of territorial space is an important factor in promoting sustainable regional development, but there is still a lack of systematic research on the impact of transport on territorial space worldwide. Following the logic of “development trend revealing—theoretical and technological summary—mechanism analysis”, the research progress on the two aspects of development and protection of territorial space related to transport is systematically and comprehensively sorted from the perspective of multi-scale and multi-mode transport. The results show that: (1) The number of research papers on the effect of transport on territorial space is on the rise, and there is an obvious trend of cross-disciplinary research. (2) Transport infrastructure will promote the development of territorial space in terms of land use change, spatial-temporal compression, and economic development, and will affect the protection of territorial space in terms of ecological impacts, energy consumption and carbon emissions, and the crossing of protection zones. (3) In the existing research, the lack of multi-dimensional indicator system construction and analysis, insufficient research at the mechanism level, and insufficient combination of theoretical research and practical application are the main problems at present, and an important direction is urgently needed for future research.

“…In such cities, all citizens have access to alternative modes of transport, including those that are not dependent on traffic congestion on the streets and roads. Finally, mobility (which is typically very high in car-oriented cities) is much less important than accessibility, i.e., the ability to move between various locations where everyday activities of people take place [14][15][16][17].…”

The relevance of the issue under study stems from the lack of a method and indicators for determining the population’s level of transport mobility. The purpose of the article is to develop a method for assessing the level of transport mobility. The analysis of studies on the quality of transport services has shown lack of attention to mobility as a public transport service for the public. There are currently no science-based criteria for assessing the mobility level of convenience for passengers who use various modes of public transport for their trips. The use of a transport mobility index will improve both the quality of passenger transport and the overall level of transport services. The developed method for assessing the level of transport mobility will allow researchers to look into the dynamics of the indicators and plan improvements to transport service quality. The presence of a welldeveloped metro network (more than one line) in cities provides a transport mobility index above 0.5, according to the study of Russia’s largest cities’ transport mobility index. Following the example of Rostov-on-Don, which has the smallest area of the cities under study, a high transport mobility index of 0.6 can be achieved through optimal organization of public transport within the city and without a metro network. The existence of lengthy dedicated public transport lanes does not guarantee a high index of urban mobility, as in Kazan. This is due to a predominance of bus lanes being introduced in the central part of the city: this does not allow the outlying areas and the city as a whole to be given a high level of transport mobility.
