Energy use for transportation in 22 Nordic towns

Abstract

A multivariate study of 22 Nordic towns indicates that urban form variables have a significant influence on the inhabitants’ average energy use for transportation. A high population density, particularly in the inner and central areas of the town, seems to be beneficial if the aim is to reduce energy use. Towns with a high proportion of blue‐collar workers use more energy for transportation than the average. This may in part be due to the frequent location of such workplaces in outer areas with poor transit facilities. A number of socioeconomic variables, among others income, car ownership and fuel prices, were also investigated. However, the influences on energy use from these variables were lower than the effects of the urban form variables.
