摘要: AbstractThe transportation sector is the second largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in United State. Developing underutilized urban industrial sites with certain characteristics (i.e., close proximity to transit, job and services, low remediation cost, high density) can potentially reduce sector’s impact on environment by lowering vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT) related GHG emissions. This study examines effect residential brownfield developments VKT reduction resulting costs (including cost driving time, fuel, external air pollution costs) further compares initial one-time cleanup sites. Sixteen conventional development were analyzed Baltimore, Chicago, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh. Travel demand models used estimate differences among developments. Air valuation data environmental differences...
