{"product_id":"commuting-and-urban-spatial-structure-von-jiawen-yang","title":"Commuting and Urban Spatial Structure","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838347226\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA comparative and multi-decade study of urban transportation and spatial development in Atlanta and Boston\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838347226","offer_id":39499099439197,"sku":"9783838347226","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/2bdbfce3-699b-46f0-9070-1d643460fc78.jpg?v=1776408398","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/commuting-and-urban-spatial-structure-von-jiawen-yang","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
