Urban expansion and neighbourhood commuting patterns in the Beijing metropolitan region: A multilevel analysis [PDF]
Urban Studies, 2019 This study adopts a spatial perspective to analyse the complex commuting patterns of the Beijing metropolitan region. By combining measures of the built environment, neighbourhood characteristics and development time periods, a four-fold neighbourhood classification was derived by cluster analysis to reflect different urbanisation contexts.
