Work‐residence Relationships in the City

Metropolitan growth: a spatial perspective on employment trends in the Perth metropolitan area 1966–76

“…• PEOPLE Figure 1: The model of urban structure (after Logan, 1968) Most of the empirical evidence relating to urban structure in Australia is based on journey-to-work data from the census. Using data from the 1961 census, for example, Logan argued that commuting patterns in Sydney were broadly consistent with the structure shown.…”

Urban Geography

“…Work had also been done on aspects of urban population structure (Jeans and Logan, 1%1;Scott, 1%5a;Marsden, 1970) and a geographer had developed the criteria used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics to delimit urban areas for census purposes (Linge, 1965). Pioneer papers had also appeared on four themes that were to be characteristic of Australian urban geography in the 1970s: patterns of well-being (Scott,1%5b), the journey to work (Logan, 1968), ethnic patterns (Scott, 1967) and residential segregation (Johnston, 1968a). and the first Social Area Analysis studies had been published.…”

The journey to work and a satellite town: the cautionary example of Elizabeth

“…155-6). In recent years the pattern of journeys has reflected faithfully the increasingly complex spatial relationship between homes and workplaces as both become more widely diffused within sprawling metropolitan systems characterised by high levels of car ownership (Taafe, Garner and Yeates, 1963, Logan, 1968, Wheeler, 1970. Furthermore, as cities grow in size this is almost inevitably reflected by increases in the time and money that their inhabitants must spend in travelling to and from work.…”
