Abstract

Addressing unemployment and income inequalities in transport and land-use policies is important, particularly in South Africa, which is currently experiencing one of the highest unemployment rates and income inequality in the world. This research investigates the horizontal (geographical distribution) and vertical (distribution between income groups) impact of job accessibility within the City of Cape Town.
