The energy consumption in transportation sector is still increasing nevertheless of the oil crises. Since transportation sector strongly depends upon fossil fuels, it is expected to be effective for energy conservation to reduce CO2 emission to cope with global warming. In this study the authors investigate the relationship between transportation activities and land use structure in urban areas from the viewpoint of minimizing total trip length to reduce energy consumption in transportation sector Two models are developed based on congestion-free city concept which means the supply of road is adjusted to satisfy the traffic. One is the model in which people move depending on the population at their destination while the other depending on the trip length. The latter model describes the preference of shorter commuting. In the former model the optimal land use to minimize total trip length is attained. The result shows that offices are allocated around the center while residential area is relatively on the suburbs, which indicates similar pattern of land use compared with actual cities. On the other hand, results of the latter model show that there exists the optimal preference of commuting length which causes minimization of the automobiles' trip length per capita. Result concerning road area is also discussed and compared with the empirical data of Tokyo.
