Housing And Commuting: The Theory Of Urban Residential Structure - A Textbook In Urban Economics
Author: John YingerPublisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9813206683
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1057
Book Description
The field of urban economics is built on an analysis of housing prices, land rents, housing consumption, spatial form, and other aspects of urban residential structure. Drawing on the journal publications and teaching notes of Professor John Yinger of Syracuse University, Housing and Commuting: The Theory of Urban Residential Structure presents a simple model of urban residential structure and shows how the model's results change when key assumptions are made more realistic. This book provides a wide-ranging introduction to research on urban residential structure. Topics covered range from theoretical analysis of urban structure with different transportation systems or multiple worksites to empirical work on the impact of local public services on house values and the impact of racial prejudice and discrimination on housing choices. Graduate students and scholars who want to learn about research in urban economics will find this book to be a good starting point.

Book Description
In this book, Dr Cole Hendrigan examines the options for sustainable transport and land-use planning based on building heights, mixes of land-use, transportation mode capacity and others to build the next generation of parks, housing, commercial and retail spaces along high-capacity rail corridors. Following the paradigm of ‘Transit Oriented Development’, Dr Hendrigan provides unique knowledge and insights on how to best make the transition towards more sustainable and livable cities, offering a practical method to better integrate transport and urban development to this end.

Author: Feasibility of Using Jobs/housing Balance in Virginia Statewide Planning

Book Description
The Code of Virginia (section 33.1-23.03) requires that the Statewide Transportation Plan include "quantifiable measures and achievable goals relating to ... job-to-housing ratios." Such ratios reflect jobs/housing balance, defined as an equivalence in the numbers of an area's jobs and area residents seeking those jobs. This report identifies planning policies based on jobs/housing balance, examines the impact of such balance on commuting, and demonstrates how to measure this balance using Virginia data. The research suggests that the Code requirement may be satisfied by using the ratio of jobs to labor force, as this ratio is highly correlated with the job-to-housing ratio (based on examining 1980, 1990, and 2000 data) and is computationally feasible, at the jurisdictional level, on an annual basis. Alternative approaches for satisfying the requirements of the Code are also described in the report; these alternative approaches require additional effort but may be productive in certain circumstances. A simple longitudinal model developed using changes in Virginia jurisdiction commute time from 1990 through 2000 estimates that the average impact of a given urban jurisdiction improving its balance by 20% is a reduction in commute time of about 2 minutes. This effect is evident only if several factors, such as the manner in which the urban region is defined, are carefully controlled. Otherwise, there is no significant impact of a change in jobs/housing balance on a given jurisdiction's commute time. This finding is within the wide range of impacts of jobs/housing balance noted in the literature.
