Particularly, scholars have begun to consider its undesirable economic impact on a large metro region (Wheaton, 1998). Among many other urban problems, congestion is a major issue in planning and public policy because congestion involves…

between congestion and regional growth by focusing on the estimation results. As shown in figure 3, we predict how growth of population and employment density change in the 86 largest U.S. metropolitan area when the congestion growth changes. Figure 3 presents that population growth of the largest U.S. cities would decline, whereas employment growth would continue to increase when congestion growth increases. These results indicate that population growth is more sensitive to traffic congestion…

For example, it only captures the average travel time during the certain time period, but it cannot consider traffic delay…
