Abstract

Given the ever-increasing auto dependence constituting a non-negligible portion of carbon emissions, unraveling the travel choice mechanism is crucial to designing effective sustainable urban policies. It is of great significance to investigate the impact of the residential built environment and travel attitude on travel behaviour. However, existing studies have not yet reached a consensus on the complex relationships between the built environment, travel attitude and travel behaviour. Thus, it is vital to further integrate other domains (e.g. job/employment) of an individual's life course to comprehensively understand individual travel behaviour.
