Abstract: We estimate urban form effects on commuting distances within French urban areas using cross-sectional analysis (1999, 2007 and 2014). A stronger concentration of jobs relative to population within urban areas appears to significantly influence commuting distances. However, our estimates suggest relatively weak effects. Average distances between residence location and workplace would decrease by 10% whether jobs and population were equally distributed within urban areas. Our results show that commuting distances depend on many parameters that differ with spatial distribution of jobs within urban areas (density, demographics and public transport).
