Erzwungenes oder exzessives Pendeln?
To what extent can the ongoing growth of commuting between different municipalities be explained by the spatial dynamics of the urban landscape? To answer this question we analyze municipality level data which contain information about trends in jobs and housing locations and regional commuting trips over a period of almost four decades (1970–2007). Our results show increasing shares of cross-municipal commuting, along with increasing commuting distances over time. Despite the suburbanization of the labor force, people and jobs did not come closer together and the shares of cross-municipal commuting trips have not declined over time. Moreover, our study shows that the growth in commuting is clearly stronger than what might be expected from the changing geography of working and housing locations.
