Accessibility and agglomeration: A theoretical framework for understanding the connection between transportation modes, agglomeration benefits, and types of businesses

Abstract: While delineating the connection between transportation accessibility and economic activity has long been a topic of interest in geography and regional science, a better understanding of the agglomerative benefits of transportation systems is vital. This paper seeks to tie the concepts of accessibility and agglomeration together by arguing that accessibility benefits ultimately stem from the agglomerative potential created by various transportation investments. This line of reasoning provides an avenue to use … Show more

“…In particular, the study finds that the effects of transport connectivity on labour productivity should not be considered alone, but together with the spatial opportunities transport connectivity gives access to. This is consistent with the general conceptual framework of urbanisation economies (Jacobs 1969;Glaeser et al 1992;Fujita & Thisse 2002;De Bok & Van Oort 2011), and with more specific literature on the relationships between accessibility and productivity (Melo et al 2017;Otsuka 2018;Credit 2019). In our analysis this is on the one side empirically captured by the lack of significance of NDM, NDB, DFM, NSM, and CPC, that is, the indicators of the transport connectivity alone.…”

“…The reason might be that what matters to the clustering of higher labour productivity are not just transport connections, but rather the urban density or diversity that the transport connections give access to, as represented by the land use features of station areas with the one-hour travel catchment. This finding is consistent with the literature that stresses that accessibility (combining transport and land use characteristics) rather than just connectivity (only entailing transport characteristics) drives economic productivity (Melo et al 2017;Otsuka 2018;Credit 2019).…”

“…Esse cenário revela uma importante lacuna: ainda que a literatura de transportes e do planejamento urbano reconheça o papel dos ganhos de acessibilidade produzidos por sistemas de transporte na produção de economias de aglomeração e na localização de agentes econômicos (Corrêa, 1989;Villaça, 1998;Santos, 1978;Kasraian et al, 2016;Credit, 2019), poucos têm sido os trabalhos que discutem como devem ser planejadas as redes de transporte para que a distribuição de atividades no espaço seja mais equilibrada. No mesmo sentido, embora diversos estudos investiguem o impacto da distribuição de atividades e do uso do solo sobre as redes de transporte, a investigação no sentido contrário -do impacto das redes de transporte sobre o uso do solo -tem sido muito mais limitada (Kasraian et al, 2016).…”

“…No mesmo sentido, embora diversos estudos investiguem o impacto da distribuição de atividades e do uso do solo sobre as redes de transporte, a investigação no sentido contrário -do impacto das redes de transporte sobre o uso do solo -tem sido muito mais limitada (Kasraian et al, 2016). É fundamental, portanto, reconhecer as interações entre os ganhos de acessibilidade e as economias de aglomeração, campos de estudo que têm caminhado de forma separada (Credit, 2019). Credit (2019) argumenta que os benefícios econômicos produzidos por ganhos de acessibilidade são, na realidade, consequências das economias de aglomeração produzidas pelas redes de transporte, uma vez que o ganho de acessibilidade tem o mesmo efeito que a aproximação de agentes econômicos.…”
