What kind of "commuting happiness" of young people expect

Just like any choice has two sides. If you work hard in a big city, you can get good opportunities, considerable salary and a relatively fair competitive environment. There is also a long commuting that has to be mentioned in the workplace competition. Compared with other aspects, commuting is not a major issue, but now it also affects the happiness of young people.

Recently, the "2022 China Major City Commuting Monitoring Report" jointly released by the China Urban Planning and Design and Research Institute and Baidu Map shows that in 2021, the population of more than 60 minutes of "extreme commuting" in the country exceeded 14 million. The phenomenon of cities. Among these 14 million "extreme commute" people, nearly 6 million are young people.

The so -called commuting refers to the process of going back and forth from home. It is actually the product of urbanization and industrialization. However, it must be acknowledged that the concept of "commuting" exists more in the living and work context of big cities. It is not a word that is frequently used in small and medium -sized cities, especially small counties. In the process, it does not need to be "troubled" to define it and describe it in a special word -essentially, only in reality produces a significant feeling, people will repeatedly discuss a thing or phenomenon.

Large cities have large area, high population density, and scattered vocational and residential space, making commuting a manifestation. Of course, another important factor is that the high house prices in the urban area have scared the young people, and they have to stay away from the city's core area.

The aforementioned "Report" shows that in the six cities that have received attention from young people in North, Shang, Guang, Shenzhen, Cheng, and Hangzhou, nearly 80%of young people's employment centers within 15 kilometers, but they are affected by the cost of living and the community environment. The influence, 65%of young people live in the city center 15 kilometers. This inevitably lengthen the commute time of young people, making "extreme commuting" a common phenomenon.

What does "extreme commuting" bring to young people? Get up early and return, and spend a lot of time on the road of commuting. Anxiety is inevitable during the journey ... Some surveys show that the commute time is too long, which will also adversely affect employees' health and work efficiency. sex. For young people who are ambitious and look forward to breaking into the world in big cities, long commutes will dispel their will and patience, which is not conducive to talent growth.

To see, a city can attract talents and retain talents. In addition to having a good market environment and broad growth space, it is also a key part of improving and friendly public services. Among them, commuting has become an important measure. In view of the pressure of "extreme commuting" to young people in large cities, the city is necessary to provide young people with reasonable and controllable commute time and diversified traffic choices through various policies optimization and refined governance. To help young people solve the problem of commuting, it is to treat the strugglers of this city, and to accumulate energy for urban construction.

In this regard, many cities have made positive explorations. For example, on May 7 this year, Beijing released the "Traffic Development and Construction Plan during the" Fourteenth Five -Year Plan "period in Beijing." The "Planning" mentioned that it will organize urban life with rail transit siting as the core, enrich the surrounding formats around the rail site, and build a people -oriented, walking and bicycle priority transportation system around the site to realize the low -carbon lifestyle of "rail+slow". This is to start with the balance of residence and explore the optimization and improvement of the urban commute system.

In addition, many cities are also creating a "15 -minute life circle" and "happy commuting" within 5 kilometers. Some also planned specialized bicycle lanes to build a city cycling system. While improving the efficiency of residents, it is also helping to help the traffic efficiency, and it is also helpful. Progress of the "double carbon" cause.

Young people are the vitality of a city. They take out the gesture of being kind to young people, and through actual governance actions to create a good struggle environment for them, young people will naturally pay for the city. To reduce the burden of commuting of young people can we provide them with more happiness in living in big cities.
