Book excerpt: Los efectos positivos y negativos de la aglomeración de la población y el empleo son más fuertes en las ciudades que en cualquier otro lado. Las externalidades medio ambientales negativas y sus efectos en la calidad de vida de la población, -en otras palabras, la sostenibilidad urbana-, están tomando mayor importancia en los temas principales de discusión en la Economía Urbana. Cada vez un número mayor de estudios confirma que dichas externalidades dependen de las características funcionales y la organización espacial de las áreas urbanas El policentrismo es la estructura urbana espacial en la que coexiste más de un centro de empleo, es decir, aglomeraciones relevantes de actividad económica. Al policentrismo, se le ha asociado teóricamente la ventaja de permitir distancias entre los lugares de residencia de los trabajadores y los de la actividad económica más cortas. No obstante, hay trabajos que muestran que los efectos de la forma y la estructura espaciales urbanas en las pautas de suelo y movilidad pueden diferir según sean las condiciones económicas, sociales y demográficas de la población. Así pues, mientras que en las ciudades de los países desarrollados las periferias son menos densas y más ricas que las áreas centrales; en los países en desarrollo, las periferias son mayoritariamente las áreas más densas y pobres de las ciudades. "Cities in developing countries are both important and problematic realities, being the recipient of rural unemployment for a long time, and thus locus where the rural crisis generates its negative effects: poverty, social tensions and social disease, high income inequalities, natural resources scarcity, environmental decay: they all mirror unprecedented and dramatic appearances, concentrated in particular territorial settings, and call for particular attention in spatial economic analysis" (Capello & Nikjamp, 2005: 3). En este escenario, la MAMV es un caso de estudio relevante. De un lado su estructura espacial ha estado evolucionando de un monocentrismo fuerte, a un policentrismo cuando menos incipiente. Detrás de esta evolución, se hallan un largo proceso de descentralización de la población durante la última mitad del siglo pasado y un intenso proceso de descentralización del empleo ocurrido en el último par de décadas. Por otro lado, el área metropolitana y especialmente la Ciudad de México, se halla en el top tres del ranking de ciudades más pobladas y grandes del mundo. Finalmente, también se la reconoce como una de las ciudades con los más altos niveles de congestión y de contaminación atmosférica en todo el globo, hasta generar la idea de que el sistema de transporte público en la ciudad está colapsando. El objetivo principal de la tesis es responder a la cuestión de en qué medida los subcentros de empleo influyen en la pauta de uso del suelo y de commuting. Los objetivos particulares, según se fueron abordando dichas cuestiones en cada capítulo, son analizar la relación entre la estructura espacial o la forma espacial urbana con la pauta de usos de suelo y la pauta de commuting, así como la pauta de emisiones de GEI en la MAMV. De este modo, indirectamente intentamos responder a la cuestión de qué tanto la planeación urbana relacionada con el modelo de desarrollo urbano policéntrico puede ser un mecanismo para aliviar las externalidades negativas de la aglomeración de la población y de la actividad económica. En la tesis tratamos dos retos empíricos. Primero, intentamos tener en cuenta los problemas de endogeneidad que por la estructura de los datos es relevante en la identificación del efecto de las variables de estructura y forma espaciales urbanas sobre las pautas de uso de suelo y de commuting. Y segundo, pocos estudios abordan el efecto neto de cada tipo de variables, de las variables de estructura urbana espacial por un lado y de las variables de forma urbana por otro. Aunque como señalamos puntualmente hay aún cuestiones pendientes sobre ambos temas econométricos.

Download or read book Urban Spatial Structure Housing Markets and Resilience to Natural Hazards written by Chun Il Kim and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three essays on urban structure, housing, and environment. The first paper contributes to the existing debate on the co-location hypothesis by devising a proximity measure and controlling for a set of other urban form measures. Multiple regression analysis revealed that job-worker proximity leads to shorter commuting time. In addition, results from subareas suggested that the impact of job-worker imbalance and the impact of job-worker mismatch on the commuting time are both greater in the suburb in comparison with the city center. The second paper examines the impact of the LIHTC construction on nearby housing prices in the Boston metropolitan area by using the AITS-DID method. The paper found that the price gap between the LIHTC micro-neighborhood and the area beyond is reduced by approximately 16.5 percent points after the LIHTC construction. The segmentation of the analysis by sub-region showed spatially heterogeneous results. The findings from this research are contrary to the conventional perception that subsidized housing developments lead to neighborhood decline persistently. Measuring resilience to natural hazards is a central issue in the hazard mitigation sciences. The third paper applied a confirmatory factor methodology to operationalize the biophysical, built environment, and socioeconomic resilience dimensions for local jurisdictions in large urban metropolitan areas in South Korea. The factor covariances showed a trade-off relationship between natural infrastructure and human activities. Densely developed and affluent urban areas tend to lack biophysical resilience. Some local governments, sorted into the same groups, turn out to be located in different metropolitan areas. The spatial variation and inequality in the resilience dimensions suggest the necessity of integrated and flexible governance for sustainable hazard mitigation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is a highly urbanized nation. Today, with a growing number of people living in cities, a better understanding of how changes within urban areas impact the well-being of residents has important implications for policymakers and communities. The urban spatial structure of these cities is continually evolving, and in different ways across cities. This changing urban environment has substantial impacts on health and well-being. This dissertation takes a comprehensive view of social welfare from a policy perspective, including questions related to environmental degradation and public health, in order to scrutinize how urban gradients and urban spatial structures yield different consequences and affect residents in various ways. My first chapter explores how changing urbanization patterns in the United States influences air quality outcomes. Specifically, I seek to answer whether more compact forms of residential development result in better air quality relative to more sprawling patterns. I use spatially explicit data on air pollution and residential development, including over 6 million observations on new housing from tax assessment data, across large metropolitan areas to reveal a causal link between urban sprawl and air pollution from vehicle traffic. I find that compact cities experience a larger reduction in nitrogen dioxide and ozone compared with sprawling cities. In my second chapter, I explore the health benefits of urban green space. In order to better understand the impacts of urban green space on health outcomes, I examine the effects of city park area on mortality rates from cardiovascular disease among the elderly. I combine city park data with data on mortality rates, behavioral risk factors, and socioeconomic characteristics to conduct comparative case studies utilizing a synthetic control method. I select cities with significantly increased and reduced park area and examine how health benefits vary compared to cities where park area has not expanded. My results indicate that cities with increased park area experience a larger reduction in cardiovascular mortality for the elderly compared to their synthetic counterparts, although cities with reduced park area fail to show that there is a negative causal link between the reduction of parkland and cardiovascular mortality. In my third chapter, I study spatial variations in housing market resilience within and across U.S. metropolitan areas. I investigate how residential housing markets respond to the economic boom and bust periods before, during and after the Great Recession across urban, suburban, and exurban areas. Using over 15 million observations of housing sales across the largest 51 metropolitan areas of over one million population, this essay focuses on variations across census tracts to trace the path of housing prices at the neighborhood level. The results indicate that, relative to suburban and exurban areas, housing markets in urban areas were harder hit during the recession but recovered faster after the market crash. Urban and exurban housing markets within cities with high geographical restrictions fell to a similar extent during the bust. I also find that the West region was particularly volatile during this sample period.

Download or read book Reflections on Urban Regional and National Space written by Uzo Nishiyama and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nishiyama Uzō, educated as an architect between 1930 and 1933, was a key figure in Japanese urban planning. He was a prolific writer who influenced a whole generation of Japanese urban planners and his interpretations of foreign planning and local practice still influence Japanese planning theory and practice today. Nishiyama’s first publications date to the 1930s, and his last ones appeared in the 1990s, spanning a period of enormous political and spatial changes. The three articles translated here, originally published in the 1940s in professional magazines, show how Nishiyama developed his theoretical models based on a social approach to architecture and planning, focusing on land use and land control rather than aesthetic preferences. They provide insight into Nishiyama’s early thinking, his analysis of foreign examples, his reflection on large-scale regional and national spatial organization, and his architectural and urban visions, providing a remarkable and fascinating insight into the state of planning in Japan. These texts call scholarly attention to the writing of a global planning history and invite the reader to engage with a major figure in planning who is largely unknown outside Japan; to reconsider Japanese planning history; and to work towards a truly global planning history. How does Nishiyama compare to the great urban planners of the past in the West, such as Patrick Geddes, Lewis Mumford, or Werner Hegemann? Many more translations will be necessary to answer this question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation research takes three different approaches to study the urban land development process, mainly from a supply side perspective. The three approaches are organized into different essay chapters. Each chapter has its independent framework and methodology. Chapter 2 uses numerical optimization methods to explore how residential households allocate across space with introduction of distance related amenity/disamenity, as well as under nonmonocentric urban spatial structure. Chapter 3 proposes an agent-based simulation of housing market and land development to understand the role of home improvement as part of housing supply. An important feature of the proposed agent-based simulation model is that it allows for neighborhood spillover effects among home improvement activities. Chapter 4 assembles a micro panel data to empirically investigate the relationship between manufacturing decline and increased residential land development in Allegheny county, PA. One policy implication of the results is that, there might be a significant underestimate of household willingness to pay (WTP) for better air quality, due to the supply side effect of manufacturing decline induced air quality change.
