尽管人们对紧凑型城市对实现可持续交通目标的好处有着成熟的理论认识，但世界范围内城市人口分散的趋势一直存在。在本文中，一个分析框架，它可以适用于其他城市，以量化潜在的通勤旅行节省和环境效益的不同的就业政策，在城市有不同的速度和模式的人口分散，提出。香港在1992-2002年的十年的案例研究被用来说明分析框架。研究结果表明，一个城市的人口模式确实对替代工作搬迁政策节省的通勤旅行有重大影响。在人口分散的情况下，工作分散化政策的预期环境效益可能非常可观。
Despite the well-established theoretical understanding on the benefits of compact cities to the attainment of sustainable transport goals, there has been a worldwide trend of population decentralization in cities. In this paper, an analytical framework, which can be applied to other cities to quantify the potential commuting travel savings and environmental benefits of different job policies in cities having different rates and patterns of population decentralization, is presented. A case study of Hong Kong in the 1992–2002 decade is used to illustrate the analytical framework. The findings suggest that a city’s population patterns did have significant implications on the commuting travel savings from alternative job relocation policies. With a dispersed population pattern, the expected environmental benefits from a job decentralization policy can be very substantial.
