十多年来,可持续交通范式一直主导着城市交通研究议程。这一范式侧重于旅行对环境的影响和减缓气候变化的必要性,然而,交通运输在旅行类型和目的方面的具体结果并没有得到有力的概念化,理解交通运输服务提供的道德考虑的知识基础有限。本文批判性地认为,最近开发的伦敦的夜间经济,包括政策话语和技术方法,形状的运输服务提供在夜间的交通战略。案例研究评估了公平的时空维度。政策话语的分析揭示了夜间交通是如何被认为是一种工具性手段,以增长的“夜间经济”,从传统的智慧联系在一起的可达性改善与经济扩张。这一战略将“夜晚的伦敦”视为经济发展的载体,侧重于经济的消费方面,改善个人获得娱乐和休闲的机会。政策话语承认存在的夜间工作者在艺术和娱乐以外的部门,但是,试图扩大“夜间经济”的议程,以适应夜间工作者的旅行需求,失去了通过在交通规划实践中使用的无障碍指标的狭隘选择。这一案例表明,由于夜班工人面临严重的无障碍,往往依赖低频公交服务,而这些服务在大伦敦的覆盖面不足,因此错过了在空间和时间层面改善交通公平的机会。仔细研究交通运输提供的社会空间和时间层面,可以通过整合各种分配问题,并更密切地联系夜间工作者在获得交通运输方面面临的实际障碍,促进对交通运输公平的更系统的批判性观点。
The sustainable mobility paradigm has dominated the urban transport research agenda for more than a decade. This paradigm focuses on the environmental impacts of travel and the imperative for climate change mitigation, however the specific outcomes of transport in terms of trip type and purpose are not robustly conceptualised, with limited intellectual foundations to understand the ethical considerations of transport service provision. This paper critically considers transport strategies recently developed for London’s Night Time Economy, including policy discourse and technical approaches that shape of transport services provision at night. The case study evaluates the spatiotemporal dimensions of equity. Analysis of policy discourses revealed how night time transport are conceived as an instrumental means to grow the ‘Night Time Economy’, drawing from the conventional wisdom linking accessibility improvements with economic expansion. This strategy viewed ‘London at night’ as a vehicle for economic development, focusing on the consumption-side of the economy and improving individuals’ access to entertainment and recreation. Policy discourse recognised the existence of night-time workers in sectors outside arts and recreation, however, attempts to broaden the ‘Night Time Economy’ agenda to accommodate the travel needs of night-time workers were lost through the narrow selection of accessibility metrics used in transport planning practice. This case demonstrates a missed opportunity to improve transport equity across spatial and temporal dimensions, as night-time workers face severe accessibility barriers, often relying on low-frequency bus services that have inadequate service coverage across Greater London. Scrutinising socio-spatial and temporal dimensions of transport provision can advance more systematic critical perspectives on transport equity by integrating a variety of distributional issues and linking more closely to the practical barriers faced by night-time workers to access transport.
