Abstract
- Abstract: This study provides a brief evaluation of the relationship between trends in transport emissions and urban land-use by analysing correlation between transport CO<subscript>2</subscript> emissions data, GDP and population data with land-use change data from the CORINE database for EU Member States between 1990 and 2000. It concludes that the correlation between transport CO<subscript>2</subscript> emissions and the increase of artificial land area is much stronger than the correlation between CO<subscript>2</subscript> emissions and GDP or population data. The paper argues that this correlation is a strong justification for using land-use based policies to reduce CO<subscript>2</subscript> emissions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
