Quantifying Urban Form: Compactness versus ‘Sprawl’
This paper develops a set of quantitative variables to characterise urban forms at the metropolitan level and, in particular, to distinguish compactness from ‘sprawl’. It first reviews and analyses past research on the definitions of urban form, compactness and sprawl, and corresponding quantitative variables. Four quantitative variables are developed to measure four dimensions of urban form at...
متن کاملOn the Effectiveness of Smart Growth Programs in Curbing Urban Sprawl
Abstract. According to research to date, sprawl negatively affects the lives of millions of Americans annually. Fortunately, in the U.S., several states have designed and enacted growth management programs to curb its expansion. But have they been effective? Following up on work by just a handful of other research teams, we control for land area, population, fuel cost, per capita income, passen...
متن کاملUrban sprawl and air quality in large US cities.
This study presents the results of a paper of urban spatial structure and exceedances of the 8-h national ambient air quality standard for ozone in 45 large US metropolitan regions. Through the integration of a published index of sprawl with metropolitan level data on annual ozone exceedances, precursor emissions, and regional climate over a 13-year period, the association between the extent of...
متن کاملUrban sprawl and public health.
When regular steam ferry service between Brooklyn and Manhattan began in 1814, the first commuter suburb became possible. 1 Suburbs continued to develop slowly but steadily during the 19th and early 20th centuries, thanks to transportation advances such as commuter trains and streetcars, the innovations of early real estate developers, and the urge to live in pastoral tranquility rather than in...
متن کاملUrban Sprawl, Job Decentralization, and Congestion: the Welfare Effects of Congestion Tolls and Urban Growth Boundaries
This paper develops a spatial general equilibrium model to explore the endogenous relations between urban sprawl, job decentralization, and traffic congestion, and then compare the efficiency and welfare impacts of anti-congestion policies. Results suggest that congestion spurs firms to decentralize and agglomerate away from the urban center, with households living more centrally. A congestion-...
