This paper will provide an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding commute-related energy consumption patterns. Drawing from urban transportation and built environment literature, I will suggest the degree to which the job-housing imbalance, the geography of housing affordability, and the transportation infrastructure investment have produced heightened levels of energy consumption and inequitable urban environments.
