ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we shall first take a look at key urban structural and socio-economic features characterizing the investigated residential areas with the highest and lowest values, respectively, on selected transport variables. Thereupon, differences in travel behavioural patterns between respondents living at different distances from the city centre of Copenhagen will be presented. These introductory comparisons are not adjusted for socio-economic and attitudinal differences between the areas, or for other urban structural conditions than the distance from the dwelling to central Copenhagen (this will be done in Chapter 6 and the subsequent chapters). The simple comparisons presented in this chapter may still give a first indication of relationships between travel behaviour and residential location. In the remaining part of the chapter, the spatial distribution of some of the respondents’ most important trip destinations will be illuminated.
