Record URL: Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Find a library where document is available Abstract: This research reveals and quantifies the transportation impacts of the changing workplace–residence relationship stemming from land and housing reforms in Chinese cities, with Beijing as the study case. Evidence from a 1996 housing relocation survey indicates that commuting time increases by 30% as households move away from previous housing locations and from central districts to suburban districts. This finding partially explains the demand for motorized transportation and the congestion in today’s Chinese cities. The research also reveals the importance of urban growth strategies in preventing congestion from worsening as urban growth continues.
