Description
Book SynopsisThis important collection provides a foundational understanding of the debates surrounding urban form and the ability of land use policy to deliver the preferred urban form. Professor Mulley has selected key published articles from disciplines at the interface of urban economics and transport economics.
Trade Review‘This collection of seminal papers reflects on the long history of research on urban form and transport accessibility, and it includes contributions from many of the most influential thinkers in urban and regional science. Now they have all been assembled in a single volume that is accessible to all researchers – it provides an invaluable resource.’Table of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements Introduction Corinne Mulley PART I THEORIES OF URBAN FORM AND HIERARCHIES OF CITY SIZE 1.
