A summary of main arguments
Density is in the eye of the beholder Density gradients differ between East and West
Is it high density or high concentration of land uses that matter? South Asian cities are denser than those in the West, but lack
hubs Diminishing returns to density
Western narrative about density misses diminishing returns
Transport – land use are linked Transport land use transport land use …
Public transit use and development densities are linked High density leads to high transit use
Transport planning imperatives

The East-side story
High-density corridors, not hubs No downtowns Subways or higher order rail not feasible High-capacity bus system better Exclusive right of way for transit on
corridors Signal priority in mixed traffic for transit Freeways to deal with high demand for
higher automobile throughput

The diminishing returns to density
Diminishing returns is the decrease in the marginal (per-unit) output of a production process as the amount of a single factor of production is increased, while the amounts of all other factors of production remain constant.
Can too much density be bad?

Conclusions
Transit-land use are linked The relationship differs in the East and the West Diminishing returns: moderation in everything,
even in moderation Integrated transport-land use planning needed
Linking transit development with land use development
Plan networks not corridors Do not miss the link between high density and
low-incomes Exclusive right of way for transit and
automobiles
