“If we build it, they will come”: The question of induced travel demand attracts substantial interest from decision-makers, planners and the wider public alike. This technical document is intended as an introduction to the concept of induced travel demand and the principal arguments and debates surrounding the phenomenon. The module has been written by Roger Gorham, a leading researcher in the field.

In an effort to provide greater knowledge to the policy makers on issues related to sustainable urban transport GTZ SUTP developed a series of documents titled "Sustainable Urban Transport Technical Documents". The first of this series is on "Induced Travel".
