Least-cost planning methodology (LCPM), also referred to as "least-cost planning" (LCP) is a relatively new technique used by economists for making rational decisions about investments in transport and other urban infrastructure projects. It is based on cost–benefit analysis. However, it is more comprehensive in that it looks at not only the total costs and total benefits for an individual project, but it also examines the total costs and benefits for all alternatives or combinations thereof and treats them on an "equal footing." These alternatives include not only construction projects but also demand reduction measures, such as road pricing, developing more walkable neighbourhoods and promoting telecommuting.
