Book chapterAbstract
The scope of this chapter is employment location and commuting for the journey-to-work travel from origins in the outer western suburbs of Sydney to all other destinations, and journey to home from major employment centres such as Parramatta. The equity aspect of urban development, as measured by accessibility to land uses, has been a longstanding research theme of one of the authors (Black, 1975, 1977, 1979, 1992; Black and Conroy, 1977). However, in this chapter we have formulated a model of accessibility and sustainability that is introduced for the first time for comment and critique.The scope of this chapter is employment location and commuting for the journey-to-work travel from origins in the outer western suburbs of Sydney to all other destinations, and journey to home from major employment centres such as Parramatta.
