Abstract

This article empirically tests the effects of urban scale and density on residential traffic expense by utilizing micro-level data from ‘China Urban Household Survey’. Results show high level of urban scale and density both will increase household’s total traffic expense at the city level. Urban density influences residential traffic energy consumption only by changing the structure of household’s traffic mode. Currently, eastern areas should pay attention to the phenomenon of the geographical separation of residential and working sites so as to alleviate the problem of increasing commuting distance. Mid and western areas should instead focus on providing more public transport facilities and networks.
