Abstract:
Integrated Public Transport Networks (IPTNs) can contribute positively towards spatial
transformation. The feasible rate depends on the nature of decisions made by planning
agencies, households, and businesses. This presentation demonstrates the key findings
from the utilisation of a systems dynamics modelling platform to simulate the dynamic
fusion of decisions (and non-decisions) by the various role players who influence the
performance of IPTNs, as well as the effect of their decisions on the performance
trajectory of IPTNs as spatial transformation instruments in South African cities.
