摘要：AbstractThe aim of this study is to examine the relationship between built environment and consumption of consumer products. The study uses the data obtained from a series of surveys conducted in Texas to empirically examine the relationship between tons of consumer products per capita delivered to each tract and built environmental variables such as road density, population density, and block size while controlling for socioeconomic characteristics. The finding of this study will contribute toward the interrogation of the broad effect of policies that are often called “smart growth” in terms of effect on the demand for freight.
