Abstract

Abstract Transportation networks play a vital role in the development of cities and access to opportunities. Transportation planning, however, has yet to recognize its role in promoting inequalities. This work aims to discuss the concepts of centralization and accessibility and present a paradigm for planning transit networks based on the understanding that transit demand contains an endogenous component: by increasing accessibility, transit systems encourage part of the demand they seek to meet, leading to a circular causation cycle. It is proposed, then, that the planning of transit networks should be strongly associated with the discipline of urban planning, considering the existing demand and the design of the city that one wants to build.
