Introduction -- Influence of Government Policies and Individual Decisions on the Commuting of Poor Workers in Hong Kong -- Impacts of Government Policies and Individual Decisions on the Commuting of Poor Workers in Singapore -- Neighbourhood Effects Influence the Commuting of the Poor in Deprived Urban Neighbourhoods of Hong Kong and Singapore -- Impacts of the Suburbanization Policy on the Spatial Mismatch Commuting of Workers in Hong Kong and Singapore -- Comparing Policies between Hong Kong and Singapore with a Focus on the Commuting of the Poor.

This book focuses on the influence of socio-economic and land-use policies on the commuting problems and quality of life of the poor in Singapore and Hong Kong. It considers the influence of self-organisation: how the mobility of an individual is constituted by structures such as transport systems or socio-economic structural factors, as well as influenced by individual decisions. Where most transport studies focus on the influence of factors such as income inequality, the gender gap, and the built environment, this book fills a gap in paying particular attention to the influence of individual decisions on commuting. Given the prevalence of the former in research, government decision-makers are often constrained by these approaches and fail to understand the commuting problems of the poor. This book argues that the self-organisation approach provides some ideas that are outside the common conceptual framework in conventional transport planning and looks to improve mobility of lower-income commuters. Relevant to social science researchers working in areas such as urban planning and transport, mobility deprivation, and poverty, this book breaks new ground in quality of life studies in the Singapore and Hong Kong contexts.
