Zwischenergebnis des ARIZON Forschungsprojektes - Gedanken über eine Weiterentwicklung der multifunktionalen Innenstadt, ihrer Informationsströme und -aktivitäten, um Besucher anzusprechen. Onlineplattformen haben mithilfe digitaler Technologien Kundenvorlieben, -historien und -profile...

Housing affordability is often concerning in superstar cities. Like the Taipei metropolis, housing is too expensive in the fully built-up central city, but jobs are there. How can the government incentivize developers to create new housing in areas where households need not be stretch commuters?...

Building designs in Harare CBD are not flexible, are not cost effective and are no longer serving their functions in the sense that most people are preferring open planned designs, sustainable structures which are cost efficient, aesthetically as they are no longer appealing to most people....

"Exploring the impacts of the severe disruption caused by COVID-19 on major cities, Peter Karl Kresl expertly expands upon the nature of the challenges this has posed. He examines the policies that local leaders can adopt to limit long-lasting negative impacts and renew cities' vitality and...

This paper examines the effects of changes in downtown parking supply on urban welfare, modal choice decisions and urban spatial structure using a spatial general equilibrium model of a closed monocentric city with two transport modes, endogenous residential parking and a form of bottleneck...

Urban blight has been found to cause a variety of problems, including negatively impacting the value of surrounding properties and increasing neighborhood crime rates. If the same externalities that give rise to urban sprawl also contribute to urban blight as is suggested by Brueckner and...

This paper charts the diverging responses of different real estate sectors to the COVID-19 pandemic—and the implications for the spatial allocation of activity across metropolitan areas. Using local data from both Austin and Los Angeles, it documents sustained shifts in rents and vacancy rates...

Die Auswirkungen der Pandemie sind in allen Wirtschaftsbereichen spürbar. Ein Bereich, der am stärksten durch Schließungen, Einschränkungen und ein verändertes Verbraucher:innenverhalten betroffen war und bleibt, ist der innerstädtische Einzelhandel. Tatsächlich wird an der...

Die Frage des Niedergangs von Mittelstädten in Frankreich rückt seit Ende der 2000er-Jahre immer stärker ins Zentrum des wissenschaftlichen und öffentlichen Diskurses. Zwei Entwicklungen stehen dabei besonders im Vordergrund: die Verödung der Stadtzentren und die Schrumpfung der Städte....

This paper studies the impacts of work-from-home (WFH) in the housing market from both intercity and intracity perspectives. Our results confirm the theoretical prediction that WFH puts downward pressure on housing prices and rents in high-productivity counties, a result of workers starting to...

This paper analyzes the effects of German homeownership subsidies on the intra-city rent structure. Using a large-scale micro data set on German rent offerings, I first construct novel city rent indexes that include various rings around cities' CBDs. Using triple differences (TD) frameworks, I...

The entrepreneurship on mobility leading to an improved quality of life should be an initiative of young people living in the different neighborhoods of a city. They can even design exemplary models of territorial ordering for responsible mobility. Young people with some degree of university...

The objective of this paper is to show how the same market failures that contribute to urban sprawl also contribute to urban blight. The paper develops a simple dynamic model in which new suburban and older central-city properties compete for mobile residents. The level of housing services...

We propose a theory-inspired measure of the accessibility of a city's center: the size of the surrounding area from which it can be reached within a specific time. Using publicly available optimal-routing software, we compute these "accessibility zones" for the 109 largest US and European...

We use the entry of 17 external shopping malls in Sweden to investigate how they have affected the performance of incumbent firms located in the city centres of small cities. We find that entry by external shopping malls decreased labour productivity for incumbent firms in city centres by...

Congestion is a large problem in metropolitan areas. This paper provides a theoretical and empirical framework that can analyze whether congestion on commuting affects residential and workplace choice in metropolitan areas. First, we develop a quantitative urban model with congestion, to...

This paper studies the impact of building land limitations on within-city variation in urban density and its components crowding, residential coverage, and building height. We utilise geographical obstacles like steep inclines or water bodies as exogenous source of building land limitations...

Big Bazaar, the major chain of hypermarkets from the Future Group, has opened its three hypermarket in Nashik city. Keeping up to its promise of 'Isse Sasta Aur Accha Kahin Nahin', the Big Bazaar store in Nashik will provide shoppers mega-savings along with special discounts and offers on over...

I model a central city where citizens differ by income, and housing confers benefits on neighbors. Zoning separates citizens into neighborhoods by income. This maximizes a benefit-cost welfare criterion and facilitates redistributing gains to a majoritarian governing coalition of citizens, which...

Generally speaking, population and activities have long been associated with central part of cities. This pattern with its special structure has exemplified itself in specific functional patterns followed by accommodation of mix urban land uses. Residences could recreate as well as having...

Freeway revolts were widespread protests across the U.S. following early urban Interstate construction in the mid-1950s. We present theory and evidence from panel data on neighborhoods and travel behavior to show that diminished quality of life from freeway disamenities inspired the revolts,...

Now a days, commercial growth and development in cities are more vertical than horizontal. This vertical growth and development are controlled by the type of occupancy or land use. Higher the order of commercial activity in bid-rent system is supporting more vertical development. Consequently,...

In recent decades, gentrification has transformed American central city neighborhoods. I estimate a spatial equilibrium model to show that the rising value of high-skilled workers’ time contributes to the gentrification of American central cities. I show that the increasing value of time...

Likewise, other historic cities of Pakistan, Peshawar has two major commercial areas i.e. old city region and Saddar Bazaar. In commercial areas, the Central Business District (CBD) has prime importance, which is the retail heart of a city. Normally, dual cores of the city are present in each...
