Research undertaken for the New Zealand Transport Agency aimed to develop, test and recommend additional methodologies to provide a more strategic approach to gaining greater value for money from future transport investments. The retrospective case study approach is used to provide a predictive tool to assess land use and productivity effects of transformational transport investments. Rather than precisely quantifying productivity effects according to the Economic Evaluation Manual, this approach is intended to indicate potential directions of changes to land use and productivity. Through these indications, feedback can be provided that can be used to better align transport investment with desired land use and economic change, based on what has been observed to happen in similar locations where similar projects have been implemented.
