To assure that, cities heavily invest in enlargement and development of transportation infrastructure especially by constructing new links. The performance of such investments could be measured via spatial accessibility indices that quantifies the ease of reaching destinations. The most prominent accessibility indices are potential and daily accessibility that take into account development of urban networks and changes in land cover/use.
