Urban land use dynamically interacts with urban transportation. However, traditional urban space simulation models only focus on the simulation of the impacts of urban transportation on the dynamic changes of urban land use, by using a static road network. Therefore, they cannot express the dynamic interactions between urban land use and transportation. As a result, a simulation model for the dynamic growth of urban road network is required when developing an urban space simulation model with the capability to simulate the dynamic interactions between urban land use and urban transportation. In this paper, an urban road network growth simulation (URGS) model was proposed based on the observed relationship between urban road network density and land use intensity. It is known as the fact that road density is usually proportional to urban land use intensity. The city of Tangshan, which locates in Hebei province, China was taken as the study area. The road network of Tangshan within the City Ring road was reconstructed using the URGS model based on current land use intensity. Results show that the generated road network has a close similarity with the real road network. The URGS model can generate an intuitionistic road network automatically and quickly based on the spatial distributions of land use. Therefore, the impacts of urban land use on road network expanding can be reflected in the URGS model. The impacts of land use on road network would be simulated using the URGS model if the spatial distribution of land use were generated from the traditional urban land use simulation model. Moreover, in the future, the URGS model can be further improved to integrate with urban land use simulation model, thus to produce an urban space simulation model that can simulate the dynamic interactions between urban land use and transportation.
