Increasingly, firms are concerned with the environmental implications of their activities. The locations they choose for these activities affect the mode choices that employees must make to go to and from work and for other trips during the work day. In the case of a concentrated new development such as an innovation district, the environmental impacts over thousands of employees can be very significant. The thrust of the proposed research is to mathematically assess the transportation and emission impacts of a large, mixed use development such as an innovation district and to consider these impacts over a range of development scenarios. The research proposed will provide concrete modelled data and a simulation tool to aid in the thoughtful and successful development of Innovation Districts in other Canadian cities (a platform methodology) as well as for the particular case for this research which is Burlington, Ontario. The industrial partner for this important research is Colliers International, Canada's largest commercial real estate services company. Colliers expects to benefit from the proposed research via an enhanced understanding of transportation and environmental impacts for innovation districts. These new insights will help Colliers serve their clients better. The new platform methodology to be developed will ultimately lead to improved commercial real estate decisions for the firm, potentially all over Canada, thus enhancing their growth and penetration into the Canadian market.

企业越来越关注其活动对环境的影响。他们为这些活动选择的地点会影响员工在工作日上下班和其他出行时必须做出的模式选择。对于创新区等集中的新开发项目，对数千名员工的环境影响可能非常严重。拟议研究的主旨是从数学角度评估创新区等大型混合用途开发项目对交通和排放的影响，并在一系列开发场景中考虑这些影响。拟议的研究将提供具体的建模数据和模拟工具，以帮助加拿大其他城市创新区的深思熟虑和成功发展（平台方法）以及本研究的特定案例（安大略省伯灵顿）。这项重要研究的工业合作伙伴是加拿大最大的商业房地产服务公司高力国际 (Colliers International)。高力希望通过加深对创新区交通和环境影响的了解，从拟议的研究中受益。这些新见解将帮助高力更好地为客户服务。即将开发的新平台方法最终将改善该公司的商业房地产决策，可能遍及加拿大各地，从而促进其增长和对加拿大市场的渗透。
