A system and method for dynamic zoning are provided. Travel demand data is received for a network which includes a set of points. The travel demand data includes values representing demand from each point to each of other point. Destination-distance values are computed which reflect the similarity between points in a respective pair, based on the travel demand data. For each pair of the points, a geo-distance value is generated which reflects the distance between locations of the points in the pair. An aggregated affinity matrix is formed by aggregating the computed geo-distance values and destination-distance values. The aggregated affinity matrix is used by a clustering algorithm to assign each of the points in the set to a respective one of a set of clusters. A representation of the clusters can be generated in which each of a set of zones encompasses the points assigned to its respective cluster.
