Abstract

Urban mobility is a key ingredient to fostering social interaction and resilience. At the neighbourhood level, enhanced mobility can be achieved through investment in transport infrastructure, which in turn can promote greater community interaction and exchange, and in the process contribute to social resilience. This study examines the influence of transport infrastructure investment on household work and non-work travel demand in Singapore, with the main purpose of investigating whether improved transport accessibility brought by transport infrastructure investment prompts additional out-home trips; and if so, to what extent and in what way does transport infrastructure investment influence household travel demand. Our study indicates that the travel demand for both work and non-work purposes is mainly determined by households’ socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Rail transit accessibility and expressway proximity do not influence travel demand significantly. Land use mix and population density have a positive influence, though small in magnitude, on household travel demand, and consequently on mobility, which contributes to greater social resilience.

Heterogeneity/variation refers to the differences across the individual units being studied. A desired pseudo panel should have sufficient inter-cohort heterogeneity and within-cohort homogeneity to improve estimation efficiency.
