Urban 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-...
متن کاملModeling Cities with Congestion and Agglomeration Externalities: the Efficiency of Congestion Tolls, Labor Subsidies, and Urban Growth Boundaries
Under review for publication in the Journal of Urban Economics, September 2014 ABSTRACT: This paper develops a spatial general equilibrium model that accommodates both congestion and agglomeration externalities, while firms’ and households’ land-use decisions are endogenous across continuous space. Focusing on the interaction between externalities and land use patterns, we examine the efficienc...
متن کاملUrban Sprawl Pattern and Its Implications for Urban Management (Case Study: Zaria Urban Area, Nigeria)
Urban sprawl, or the unplanned and uncontrolled spreading out of built-up areas in Zaria urban area causes problems of congestion, poor urban basic infrastructure delivery and poor urban planning. This paper analyzed the pattern and implications of urban sprawl using GIS and Remote sensing as an improved approach to analyze and explain sprawling beyond the traditional spatial or cartographic ma...
متن کاملOverview of the Literature on the Transit-Oriented Development to Investigate a Practical Solution for Traffic Congestion in Iran Cities
Expanding public transportation is not enough to solve the urban sprawl problem resulted from an auto-orientation perspective. So urban planning experts paid attention to integrated and coordinated planning of urban development with public transportation, which reached to sustainable urban development. The purpose of this study is to review the researches in transit-oriented development (TOD) a...
متن کاملOptimal Policies in Cities with Congestion and Agglomeration Externalities: Congestion Tolls, Labor Subsidies, and Place-Based Strategies
This paper develops a spatial general equilibrium model that accommodates both congestion and agglomeration externalities, while firms’ and households’ land-use decisions are endogenous across continuous space. Focusing on the interaction between externalities and land use patterns, we examine the efficiencies of first-best policies and second-best pricing and placebased strategies using simula...
