Abstract

This paper investigates ethnic inequity in cycling to work in London, as ethnic minorities in London cycle to work less frequently than white Londoners. The study adopts three methods: spatial statistics, linear regression and spatial econometrics based on recent UK census and of fi cial statistical data (2011 – 17) of 33 London regions. Spatial analysis shows that cycling networks and bike schemes are concentrated around Inner London. Regions with less cycling infrastructure tend to have a greater proportion of residents of ethnic minorities. The paper highlights the spatial dependence between ethnic inequalities and cycling to work at a regional level in London. There is also evidence of spatial spillovers between neighbouring regions. The paper highlights the need to shift the policy focus from the provision of cycling infrastructure to mobility justice. This means recognizing the needs of distinct groups of cyclists coming from various ethnic minorities. Overall, this paper expands the transportation policies approach by linking it with the concepts of mobilities and regional inequalities. This study of London demonstrates the mechanisms responsible for regional ethnic inequalities in cycling to work that could be relevant in other large urban agglomerations.
在伦敦骑自行车上班的种族不平等:流动性不公平和地区方法
本文调查了伦敦骑自行车上班时的种族不平等现象,因为伦敦的少数民族骑自行车上班的频率低于伦敦白人。该研究采用了三种方法:基于最近的英国人口普查和33个伦敦地区的官方统计数据(2011-2017年)的空间统计学、线性回归和空间计量经济学。空间分析表明,自行车网络和自行车方案集中在伦敦市中心。自行车基础设施较少的地区往往有更大比例的少数民族居民。该论文强调了种族不平等与骑自行车上班之间的空间依赖性。还有证据表明,相邻区域之间存在空间溢出效应。该文件强调,有必要将政策重点从提供自行车基础设施转移到流动正义。这意味着要认识到来自不同少数民族的不同骑自行车群体的需求。总的来说,本文通过将交通政策方法与流动性和区域不平等的概念联系起来,扩展了交通政策方法。这项对伦敦的研究表明,在骑自行车上班时造成地区种族不平等的机制可能与其他大型城市群有关。
