Abstract

With the process of urbanization in China, metropolitan areas have become important places where a lot of people live. In this case, the internal part distributes the employment and residential areas in a polycentric and clustering way, so the intercommuting desire rises. At the same time, commuters’ expectations of the efficiency and quality of these trips are also going up. But due to the contrast between the wish for commute and connectivity (“commuting without real access, accessing without an effective commute”), as well as the poor integration of different modes of transportation resulting in low commuting efficiency, this hinders the development of these areas. In answer to this, this paper, through the summarizing of commuting characteristics in the Tokyo Metropolis as well as strategies for further improvement, offers key measures and policy suggestions. These planning, construction, operation and management-oriented proposal strengthen cross-regional connectivity, reduce residents’ travel costs of time, and in the end, improve the attractiveness, competitiveness, and integrated level of this metropolitan area.
