骑行城市：出行方式选择、汽车拥堵与城市结构
Cycling cities: Mode choice, car congestion, and urban structure
摘要
Cycling as a mode of commuting has gained popularity in cities worldwide. This study examines the impact of cycling on the urban spatial structure and welfare through the development of a quantitative spatial equilibrium model that incorporates mode choice and car congestion. We apply this model to the Netherlands, which is known for its extensive cycling infrastructure. Eliminating cycling increases commuting times and distances by 15% and 30%, exacerbates car congestion, and results in a significant reduction in worker welfare. We also show that removing dedicated cycleways leads to similar, although less pronounced, changes in the spatial economy.
中文摘要
骑行作为一种通勤方式在全球城市中日益普及。本研究通过构建一个纳入出行方式选择与汽车拥堵的量化空间均衡模型，探讨骑行对城市空间结构与福利的影响。我们将该模型应用于以广泛骑行基础设施著称的荷兰。消除骑行会使通勤时间与距离分别增加15%和30%，加剧汽车拥堵，并导致劳动者福利显著下降。我们还表明，移除专用自行车道会引发类似但程度较轻的空间经济变化。
