The potential role of light rail transit in influencing urban growth and revitalizing central city areas is explored. Land use characteristics of cities that have recently built or are planning light rail systems are examined. Specific development strategies designed in response to new or anticipated light rail investments are also reviewed. In order to probe some of the key factors related to the urban development potential of light rail transit, 12 study sites are examined in more detail.
