Hmmm, interesting. I have never thought of a single hierarchical system. When I sketch out my conceptual transit system for Houston it revolved around a more traditional modle. My first tier was an inner city rapid transit network that consisted of seven grade seperated light rail lines (subway with in the loop)and grade level outside the loop. I believe the longest rail line I had stretched from Hobby to West Oaks Mall, and another line from Belfort and 288 to Greenspoint. The light rail line had stops every 1/4 to 1/2 mile depending on the density of the area. The commuter network I laid out has stations as far out as Huntsville, Galveston, and Brazosport a total of seven seamless lines. Destinations such as Beaumont, Victoria, Fort Worth, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio could be reached by High Speed Rail Lines. The HSR vision I have is another story.

[...] This week I’ll be writing about the future of Houston, and how we can embrace and encourage growth in a sustainable way. To do this, we’ll look at some best practices in market-driven urban development and land planning, then see how those techniques could be applied locally. To explain how this applies to Houston I’ll be referring back to some of the terminology that I described last week in my series on Property Values, and an earlier series on Transportation Theory.
