This study examines the effectiveness of "Urban Central Residential Urban Form" for urban central residence and suburban residence using the indices of "Transport Energy Use", "Transport Cost", and "Urban Development and Maintenance Cost". This paper firstly indicates that transport energy use and transport cost for urban central residence are smaller, and then demonstrates that the urban development and maintenance cost for urban central residence and the percentage of urban central residents are not positively proportional. The paper concludes that the transform from suburban to urban central residence is much effective, and a reasonable percentage of residents at urban center exists.
