Introduction: Urbanisation and Transport planning in urban China, Accessibility and Self-organisation process; Objectives of this Study; Methodology; Rationale for Selecting the Research Cities; Structure of the study -- Theory framework -- Equality of Accessibility and Transport Policy -- Influence of Self-organisation Process on the accessibility of the rural migrant workers in enclaves, Guangzhou -- Influence of Self-organisation Process on the accessibility of the local workers in the inner city of Guangzhou, Xiguan -- Influence of Self-organisation Process on the accessibility of the rural migrants workers in Shanghai -- Influence of Self-organisation Process on the accessibility of the local workers in Shanghai -- Influence of Self-organisation Process on the accessibility of the migrant workers in Beijing -- Influence of Self-organisation Process on the accessibility of the poor in Tin Shiu Wai New Town, Hong Kong -- Transport Policies to Ensure Equality of Accessibility in Cities of Urban China -- Conclusion.

This book investigates the influence of self-organisation processes on the commuting of the poor workers in urban China. It suggests a new approach to investigate and measure individual access, and it argues that dynamic interactions between individual action and social structure influence individual’s access to transport, which cannot be measured using other traditional accessibility approaches. The overwhelming majority of models in transport research assume that socio-economic factors and the built-environment influence the accessibility of transport for individuals. This book provides evidence that individual decision-makings and actions are also vital factors to bring out changes in accessibility. Further, the study adopts a self-organisation process and structuration theory to illustrate that a significant proportion of travel problems of migrants are rooted in the interaction between actions and social structures. Any change in migrants’ actions or social structures in the self-organisation process would result in the production of complex and spontaneous travel behaviour. The self-organisation approach presented provides a new approach for urban transport planning in the future, particularly on the investigation of the accessibility of disadvantaged social groups. By using the social theories, transport research can have an effect on commuting behaviour and to improve poor workers’ quality of life.
