It is well-known that theories of urban land use and location, set forth by von Thünen and his followers, explained quite successfully the agricultural and residential locations. Unfortunately, there has been virtually no comparative static analysis performed to probe their underlying properties. The present paper attempts accordingly to take further steps in the direction of generalizing the theory of intra-urban location and land use and to present a general comparative static analysis. It will be shown that, in general, the intra-urban optimum location is a function of the wage rate, the transport rate on the final product, the elasticity of demand, the population of the city and the income (or wealth) of the city. In the process, it is demonstrated that characteristics of production function are crucial in conducting our comparative static analysis. 相似文献

This brief article summarizes my positive impression of the Chinese scholars over the last fourteen years in the Special Program for Urban and Regional Studies(SPURS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts. In particular, I highlight the fellows' intellectual humility and passion for continuous learning from others. The fellows are, however, very comprehensive in the way they analyze all aspects of design problems and quite bold in their design imagination, compared to United States' graduate students who are more cautious to propose any radical change in urban form. Surprisingly, the Chinese fellows rarely address social equity issues in project design and do not usually worry about project implementation challenges, perhaps because they assume that such issues are to be addressed by policy makers at higher levels. In contrast, the U.S. students frequently raise issues of social equity but are hesitant to propose radical changes because of limited power of public planning institutions in the United States. Such contrasts in design thinking is ideal for comparative and critical analysis which has enriched the SPURS program. 相似文献

This article examines a recently implemented regional reform in Norway and some ongoing regionalization processes in two of the largest city-regions. The point of departure is the assumption that the framing of the regionalization process influences its outcome, and the principal question is to what degree they were aggregative or integrative decision processes. The national reform failed because it developed into an aggregative zero-sum power game with veto-players, as the government challenged many County Councils without creating a framework that could have made compromise possible. By contrast, the strength of the integrative processes in the two city-regions lies in the fact that they contributed to the development of governance networks with a belief in a shared destiny. 相似文献

A key aspect of Jim Kemeny’s argument is that in advanced economies that have high levels of home ownership, the age pension is only adequate if you have low accommodation costs. A related argument is that these societies will be dominated by what he calls a dualist rental market. In this rental market regulation is minimal and landlords hold sway. Kemeny’s thesis, was given added support by Castles’ (1998) more extensive comparative analysis. He concluded that his findings were ‘extremely supportive’ of Kemeny’s conclusion. In this paper, I use in-depth interviews to test Kemeny’s thesis. The circumstances of older homeowners and older private renters in Australia are compared. All of the interviewees were dependent solely or primarily on the government age pension. The interviews indicated that almost all of the older homeowners felt that the age pension was adequate. They were able to consume adequately, engage in leisure activities, run a car, go on holiday and they had little anxiety about their financial situation. This was especially so in the case of those interviewees drawing the couples pension. In contrast, most of the older private renters suffered from severe financial stress. Invariably they had to use a large proportion of their income to pay for accommodation, and as a result, they found it difficult to purchase basic items and any unexpected expense precipitated much anxiety. Their limited resources severely impacted on their capacity to sustain social contacts, engage in leisure activities and look after their health. In addition to having limited resources, many had minimal security of occupancy. The interviews strongly substantiated Kemeny’s original thesis. They illustrated that within a dualist rental market the housing tenure and attendant accommodation costs of a person dependent on the government age pension are crucial determinants of their capacity to live a decent life. 相似文献

As part of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, all countries have agreed to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”. We argue that there is a critical need for large-scale comparative city policy data that, when linked with outcome data, could be used to identify where policies are working and where they could be improved. In an assessment of the landscape of existing city policy data, based on a comprehensive scoping review, we find that existing databases are insufficient for the purposes of comparative analysis. We then describe what an “ideal” city policy database would look like, where it could be housed, and how it could be developed. Such a database could be a key tool for achieving SDG 11, the urban Sustainable Development Goal. 相似文献

This contribution compares Germany, France, and the United Kingdom with the Netherlands on a number of issues. The focus is
on (a) processes of urbanization and (b) urban policies (broadly defined in an economic, social, and ecological sense). These
issues are seen in relation to national spatial planning. The authors combine the findings of this comparative analysis with
the results of previous research by one of the authors. At the end, they draw some conclusions and make recommendations for
the next (Fifth) Report on Physical Planning in the Netherlands.
Ton Kreukels is professor of Urban and Regional Planning, Faculty of Geographical Sciences at Utrecht University. From 1986 to 1992, he
was also a member of the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy. Then, and especially in this last position,
his research was focused on a study of the four big cities and city regions in the Netherlands: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The
Hague, and Utrecht. From 1992 up to the present, he has been involved in a comparative study of urban regions in Europe, including
those of the Netherlands.
Egge-Jan Pollé is a human geographer from Utrecht University. In 1996, while a junior-researcher at Utrecht University, he worked together
with the first author on the study about Germany, France, and the United Kingdom that is reported in this article. That study
was commissioned by the Netherlands National Spatial Planning Agency. 相似文献

In this article, we argue that insights can be gained by analyzing the use of urban growth boundaries (UGBs) for urban growth management as an inventory problem. The analysis provides three useful insights. First, it shows that where UGBs are employed, too much emphasis is placed on whether UGBs contain sufficient land to accommodate 20 years of growth and too little is placed on how frequently, how much, or under what circumstances UGBs should be expanded. Second, it shows that where market factors are used, they have been used inappropriately to increase the size of UGBs immediately after expansion, when they should be used to influence the size of UGBs immediately before expansion. Third, it shows that UGBs are likely to work better if expansions occur not after an arbitrary period of time, but when the supply—or the price—of land reaches some critical threshold. We conclude by asserting that the use of UGBs should not be governed by arbitrary rules of thumb, because such rules do not stand up to critical examination, they preclude adaptation to local situations, and they prevent experimentation. 相似文献
