A Land Use and Transport Interaction Model for the Greater Florence Metropolitan Area

The paper presents the first results of the LUTI model built to analyse territorial impact of future project in the area around Florence, starting from the province of Pistoia, and arriving to Florence throw Prato province. The works is made of two main steps: the first one is the collection, homogenization and comparison of actual most important planned measures at different scale, from the single involved municipalities to the Tuscany Regional Plan. The second main step is the construction of a LUTI model to evaluate different evolution scenario joining complementary infrastructure and territorial evolution measures. The obtained results show the importance of the LUTI model to support territorial planning at a multidisciplinary level
