Gentrification Trends in New Transit‐Oriented Communities: Evidence from 14 Cities That Expanded and Built Rail Transit Systems
利用1970-2000年美国14个主要城市的普查区面板数据,研究发现轨道交通扩建对周边社区的绅士化影响存在显著异质性,其中“步行换乘”站比“停车换乘”站更易引发绅士化。
Over 25 billion dollars were spent between 1970 and 2000 in 14 major cities in the United States on the construction of new rail transit lines. This massive investment in rail transit construction and expansion allows me to study the consequences of local public goods improvements for communities nearby new stations. This article uses a 14‐city census tract–level panel data set covering the years 1970 to 2000 to document significant heterogeneity in the effects of rail transit expansions across the 14 cities. Communities receiving increased access to new “Walk and Ride” stations experience greater gentrification than communities that are now close to new “Park and Ride” stations.
