“…European scholars have calculated the changes in the spatial accessibility of the highways along the Spain-France border and studied their impact on the European region (Gutiérrez and Urbano,1996;. Scholars have quantitatively evaluated the impact of the evolution of the rapid transport infrastructure network planned for construction on regional accessibility and proved that rapid traffic network construction is conducive to improving the accessibility of the border areas (Zhang et al, 2016;Wu et al, 2017a;Guzman et al, 2017). At the same time, some scholars drew the conclusion that transport accessibility can improve the total economic linkages of urban agglomerations (Jiao et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2017).…”

Based on geographic information system (GIS) spatial analysis technology, the spatial pattern of raster grid transport accessibility for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay area was studied and the states of spatial connectedness were simulated using highway passenger transport, railway passenger transport, port passenger transport and aviation passenger transport data. The result shows that transport accessibility within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay area costs 'one hour' and the spatial distribution of accessibility in the area presents clear 'core-periphery' spatial characteristics, with Guangzhou, Foshan, Shenzhen constituting the core. The transport accessibility of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao is high. Average accessibility of urban nodes as measured by travel time is 0.99 h, and the areas accessible within 1.42 h occupy 79.14% of the total area. Most of the areas with the lowest accessibility are found in the peripheral area, with the worst accessibility being 4.73 h. Compared with the west-side cities, the economically developed east-side cities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay area have higher connectivity with roads, railways, ports, and aviation transport. Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhuhai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Macao are closely linked. The higher the accessibility, the closer the intercity connectedness.

“…There are many ways to measure accessibility, such as the distance method, topology method, cumulative chance method, and the gravity model [47,48]. The measures of accessibility are mostly concentrated on the shortest time between cities, the cost and the comprehensive evaluation of the transport network [49].…”

China's high-speed rail was inaugurated in 2008; it has greatly improved accessibility, and reduced the time required to travel between cities, but at the same time, has caused an unfair distribution of accessibility levels. Therefore, this paper analyzes urban traffic roads and socio-economic statistics, using network analysis methods, accessibility coefficients of variation, and social demand indexes to explore the spatial and temporal characteristics of transport accessibility and spatial equity in China. By 2015, the national transport accessibility level will form a new pattern of "corridors" and "islands", centered on high-speed rail lines and sites. Additionally, the opening of high-speed railways has improved, to a certain extent, the inter-regional accessibility balance, and increased accessibility from high-speed railway sites to non-site cities. Spatial equality was also analyzed using the accessibility coefficient and social demand index. In conclusion, studying accessibility and spatial equity plays an important role in the rational planning of urban land resources and transportation.

“…The disparity in the regional economy in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration explains the flow of migrants to Beijing and Tianjin, leading to an uneven distribution of the labor force in the whole region [118]. Housing rents in Beijing and Tianjin are thus rising fast, resulting in the high rent stress of migrants, especially low-skilled migrants [119][120][121]. In the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, the hot spot values of low-skilled migrants with high rent stress are declining from the core to the periphery.…”

Rental housing unaffordability has been widely used to assess the housing poverty problem among immigrants in the developed and developing countries. China is experiencing an unprecedented urbanization process, with two-thirds of its 250 million migrants now being sheltered in private rental housing in the host cities. In this paper, we aimed to examine the rental housing unaffordability problems faced by migrant workers in urban China and provide policy recommendations for a more accessible and affordable migrant housing provision system. We used the household data on China’s Migrant Dynamics Monitoring Survey (MDMS), released in 2016, across China’s 329 prefecture-level cities and above to look into the sociality and spatiality of migrant rent expenses and rent-income ratio at the prefecture-level cities and above. The statistical tests were conducted to examine the socio- and spatial-variance of these rent stress indexes, and it was found that educational level is a significant and quite powerful indicator in predicting who will or will not assume the heavier rental housing pressure. We then continued to reveal the different spatiality of high-rent-stress migrants across the high- and low-skilled categories. An agglomeration of the high-skilled high-rent-stress migrants was witnessed in the coastal growth engines of urban clusters, while a more spillover-like pattern among the low-skilled high-rent-stress migrants was reported in our study. An ordinary least square and spatial regression analysis was conducted to explain their respective mechanisms.
