Abstract

Energy requirements for the journey to work, resulting from alternative population and employment growth patterns in a rural area of England, are estimated and compared. Both the absolute and relative energy-efficiency of alternative land-use patterns are shown to depend on assumptions about future mobility, implying that ideal spatial structures cannot be defined without reference to other important factors affecting travel behaviour and life-styles. Current trends in the area are leading to the land-use patterns which consistently emerged as being energy intensive in the analysis.
