Abstract
Now a days, commercial growth and development in cities are more vertical than
horizontal. This vertical growth and development are controlled by the type of occupancy
or land use. Higher the order of commercial activity in bid-rent system is supporting
more vertical development. Consequently, the central business (CB) uses and particularly
the retailing supports and control the vertical growth. Retailing and all sort of CB uses are
directly associated with the mode & nature of accessibility. This study focuses on impacts
of accessibility on the vertical commercial land use pattern in central business district
(CBD) of Peshawar, Pakistan and thoroughly studies this association in detail. The
subtypes of accessibility and retailing/commercial activity are grouped into singular
expression by measures of central tendencies and then correlated with the number of
visitors and level of vertical occupancy. The results show a common pattern in vertical
land uses which is in liaison with the accessibility. This study not only explores the
relationship of accessibility with vertical land use pattern but also provides basic
information for investment and economic endeavor.
