Book excerpt: The authors combine measures of urban form and public transit supply for 114 urbanized areas with the 1990 Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey to address two questions: (1) How do measures of urban form, including city shape, road density, the spatial distribution of population, and jobs-housing balance affect the annual miles driven and commute mode choices of U.S. households? (2) How does the supply of public transportation (annual route miles supplied and availability of transit stops) affect miles driven and commute mode choice? The authors find that jobs-housing balance, population centrality, and rail miles supplied significantly reduce the probability of driving to work in cities with some rail transit. Population centrality and jobs-housing balance have a significant impact on annual household vehicle miles traveled (VMT), as do city shape, road density, and (in rail cities) annual rail route miles supplied. The elasticity of VMT with respect to each variable is small, on the order of 0.10-0.20 in absolute value. However, changing several measures of form simultaneously can reduce annual VMT significantly. Moving the sample households from a city with the characteristics of Atlanta to a city with the characteristics of Boston reduces annual VMT by 25 percent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decades, USA metropolitan areas have experienced significant population growth and suburban development. At the same time, commuting time has lengthened and road congestion has increased. How to contain traffic growth in a context of suburban development has become a focus of urban transportation research and city and regional planning. This work interprets metropolitan wide commuting with a reference to the metropolitan wide growth trends. Three decades of census data (1980, 1990 and 2000) for two metropolitan areas (Boston and Atlanta) are used to illustrate the linkage between commuting and urban spatial development. A commuting spectrum method is developed to characterize urban spatial structure, particularly job-housing proximity, across space, over time and among different regions. The work recommends a constrained and balanced vision of urban growth for improving transportation efficiency. The work should be useful for researchers, planners and policy makers in the field of urban geography, urban transportation and city and regional planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Cont.) Results indicate that the configuration of commuting spectrums mirror the changes in urban spatial structure in terms of job-housing proximity. In addition, the spatial variation, temporal change and regional differences in commuting can be significantly explained with job-housing proximity. Empirical results suggest that spatial decentralization pathways in Atlanta and Boston change the regional patterns of job-housing proximity, attracting people to commute longer distances. The relatively constrained spatial decentralization in Boston results in shorter commuting time and distance than in Atlanta. The empirical results point to a constrained and balanced vision of urban growth for achieving a commuting economy. Both urban growth management and transportation policies are needed to help achieve this vision.

This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 1057 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of urban economics is built on an analysis of housing prices, land rents, housing consumption, spatial form, and other aspects of urban residential structure. Drawing on the journal publications and teaching notes of Professor John Yinger of Syracuse University, Housing and Commuting: The Theory of Urban Residential Structure presents a simple model of urban residential structure and shows how the model's results change when key assumptions are made more realistic. This book provides a wide-ranging introduction to research on urban residential structure. Topics covered range from theoretical analysis of urban structure with different transportation systems or multiple worksites to empirical work on the impact of local public services on house values and the impact of racial prejudice and discrimination on housing choices. Graduate students and scholars who want to learn about research in urban economics will find this book to be a good starting point.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the interaction between urban spatial equilibrium and commuting congestion dynamics. We present a new monocentric city framework that combines a discrete urban space with multiple Vickrey (1969)-type bottlenecks. The model illustrates commute scheduling patterns by residents at different locations in the city. We confirm empirically the relationship between residential location and commute timing choices predicted by the model. In particular, we find that commuters traveling a longer distance tend to arrive at work at the edge of the morning peak time while commuters with a shorter distance tend to arrive at the peak time. The paper also characterizes the optimal policy of congestion toll and analyzes its impact on urban spatial structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents and analyses spatial planning in Ghana, providing a comprehensive and critical discussion of the evolving institutional and legal arrangements that have shaped and defined Ghana’s spatial planning system for more than seven decades; the contemporary policy instruments and mechanisms for articulating and implementing policies and proposals at multiple scales; and the formally established procedures for development management. It covers important themes in contemporary spatial planning discourse, including the evolving meaning, scope and purpose of spatial planning globally; the scales of spatial planning (i.e. national, regional, sub-regional and local); multi-level integration within spatial planning; public participation; the interface between urbanization, sustainable growth management and spatial planning; spatial planning and housing development; integrated spatial development and transportation planning; and spatial planning and the urban informal economy. Intended for undergraduate and graduate students, and academic researchers and practitioners/policy-makers in the multidisciplinary field of spatial planning, it appeals to readers seeking an international perspective on spatial planning systems and practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Theoretically, if the distribution of work trips is reshuffled so that regional commuting costs are minimized, the optimized journey-to-work pattern based on the actual urban structure of homes and jobs suggests people may engage in efficient commuting. Commuting efficiency measures the extent that the observed work travel pattern is greater than the commuting pattern when trip lengths are minimized. Accurate estimates of commuting efficiency depend on the spatial and structural factors that influence the level of the theoretical minimum commute, thereby, under or over stating commuting efficiency. This thesis considers an alternative approach to commuting efficiency assessments based on spatially disaggregated commute components. A spatially disaggregated approach involves the calculation of commuting efficiency metrics on a zonal basis from the viewpoint of the origins and the destinations. Existing measures are estimated from the residential and employment perspectives allowing an analysis of intra-urban (inter-zonal) commuting efficiency from two viewpoints. The primary attempt of this research is the spatial variation of commuting efficiency for job-seekers and job-demanders at the sub-regional scale. Spatially disaggregated metrics are formulated and applied to commuting data for a sample of cities in Poland. The urban spatial structure in Poland has evolved from different political and economic processes. An intra-zonal typology is developed to arrange zones in groups by means of relationships between their corresponding origin and destination commute components. The results indicate that the amount of commuting efficiency is varied for residents and employers in various areas of the city. In addition, the results show that there is a relationship between the zonal jobs-housing balance and accessibility (as captured by the theoretical minimum commute) and the zonal observed commute. However, the relationship between commuting efficiency and jobs-housing balance is counter-intuitive due to the impact of the minimum commute variation on the efficiency metrics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, most people live and work in cities and as a result, most social and economic issues have a significant urban dimension. Considerable attention has been devoted to understanding where and how residential location affects urban activity, yet little of this effort has been directed to work and what determines location choices in cities. This study addresses this question by providing a theory based on modern labor economics, which complements the residential location theory at the core of recent urban studies. It analyzes the importance of workplace location in assessing matters of spatial structure, commuting patterns, underemployment, and the formation of urban ghettoes. The book lucidly blends theoretical analysis with empirical evidence, especially that from transportation survey data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobility is fundamental to economic and social activities such as commuting, manufacturing, or supplying energy. Each movement has an origin, a potential set of intermediate locations, a destination, and a nature which is linked with geographical attributes. Transport systems composed of infrastructures, modes and terminals are so embedded in the socio-economic life of individuals, institutions and corporations that they are often invisible to the consumer. This is paradoxical as the perceived invisibility of transportation is derived from its efficiency. Understanding how mobility is linked with geography is main the purpose of this book. The third edition of The Geography of Transport Systems has been revised and updated to provide an overview of the spatial aspects of transportation. This text provides greater discussion of security, energy, green logistics, as well as new and updated case studies, a revised content structure, and new figures. Each chapter covers a specific conceptual dimension including networks, modes, terminals, freight transportation, urban transportation and environmental impacts. A final chapter contains core methodologies linked with transport geography such as accessibility, spatial interactions, graph theory and Geographic Information Systems for transportation (GIS-T). This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, with a broad overview of its concepts, methods, and areas of application. The accompanying website for this text contains a useful additional material, including digital maps, PowerPoint slides, databases, and links to further reading and websites. The website can be accessed at: http://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans This text is an essential resource for undergraduates studying transport geography, as well as those interest in economic and urban geography, transport planning and engineering.

Book excerpt: The sprawl of U.S. cities has attracted criticism from many sources in recent years. Among the greatest of the cited harms of sprawl is the alleged travel time burden that it imposes on its residents. Previous research has tested the relationship between the sprawl of business activity and travel times by examining only its effects on commuting times and has concluded that people do not choosing housing and work locations to minimize commutes. This research takes a more comprehensive approach by analyzing the relationship between household travel times and sprawl by testing the relationship between access to economic centers and daily household travel time. The relatively minor increase in household travel times with decrease in access to economic centers found by the analysis shows that people logically reduce trips to centers when choosing housing locations with less access to centers. The ability of people to make these reductions in travel is clearly increased by the dispersal of activity from the central business district and other centers. Comparison of predicted household travel times with an estimated rent gradient show that the increase in housing prices with improved access to subcenters is far less than would be expected given the predicted household travel times, contradicting the relationship between household travel time and housing prices embodied in central place theory and its limited polycentric extensions.
