AbstractThe relationships between urban sprawl and journey to work in the metropolitan area of Madrid are analysed. Three elements of urban sprawl are addressed (metropolitan expansion, low-density and work and leisure facilities in suburban areas) and are related to the main characteristics of mobility (flow networks, mode-choice, and travel times). The conclusion reached is that the elements defining the new metropolitan morphology are related to an unsustainable mobility model, which increases commuter numbers, distances, and car use.
