Abstract
This paper analyses the effects of urban structure, including road and railway network spatial configuration, on urban energy consumption per capita by transportation. With data analyses in worldwide approximately 50 cities at year 1980, 1990, 2000, this paper confirms that the effect of road and railway network configuration on urban transportation energy consumption per capita, which has been confirmed by proceeding studies, is almost same. This paper also confirms the advantage of methodology which analyses the effects of each fractionized element of transportation network spatial configuration on urban transportation energy consumption per capita.
