Abstract Details

2022, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Regional Development Planning.
Public transportation infrastructure stimulates urban and regional economic development. Many studies found that transit investment promotes agglomeration economies which concentrate economic activity by businesses, employees, and institutions near transit facilities. However, there has been fewer discussions about how agglomeration economies associated with transit infrastructure improve equity in the metropolitan area or region. In the dissertation, I analyze the impacts of the transit-associated agglomeration on low-skilled employment. The dissertation is a collection of three empirical studies on relationships between transit investment, agglomeration economies, opportunities, and labor market equity. The studies recommend planning and public policies to improve economic opportunities and accessibility for low-skilled labor force through transit planning, land use planning, workforce development, and economic development.
