本文分析了1977年美国全国范围内的个人交通研究中的一个大样本，以检验工作出行终点分散可能导致的交通经济。基于大城市拥有最大比例的非中心城市工作旅行终点的间接证据，我们将这类城市的各种工作旅行结果与多中心城市形式假说联系起来。我们声称，这些结果还表明，分散的定居点(无序扩张？)并不一定是不经济的。
A large national sample from the US 1977 Nationwide Personal Transportation Study is analyzed in order to test the transport economies that may result from the dispersion of work trip-ends. Based on indirect evidence that the largest metropolitan areas have the largest proportion of noncentral-city work trip-ends, we associate a variety of work-trip results for such cities with a polycentric urban form hypothesis. We claim that these results also suggest that decentralized settlement (‘sprawl’?) is not necessarily uneconomical.
