Since the accession to the EU, Hungary came at huge sum of development resources. These resources should serve the sustainable development of the economy of the country and its people. However, joint planning between land-use planning, regional planning and transportation planning is lacking, disendowing the utilization of possible synergies. LUTI models represent a way to deal with this problem, but Hungarian research in this field is in hiatus, and governmental interest is missing. This paper aims to draw attention to this field. It is in Hungary's best interest to develop or adopt some kind of LUTI model to enhance its developmental capability.
