| Description/Abstract | This paper examines the ability of the monocentric models to predict the mean length of commute in urban areas.^Actual mean commute is compared with that predicted by monocentric models and it is found that actual commuting distance is about eight times greater than that predicted by the model.^Next, the volume of commuting that would result if people chose their houses and jobs at random is calculated, making no effort to economize on commuting.^This overpredicts actual commuting by about 25%.^14 references, 1 table. |
