This article aims at identifying emergent secondary centers and measuring their impact on residential and commercial real estate values, through the estimate of hedonic gradients. Urban sprawl combined with the formation of suburban employment centers have produced more complex spatial patterns...

The control of urban sprawl often involves policies of allowable use zoning. By protecting large areas from development, such policies may, in fact, provoke ?leapfrog? development through their inflationary effect on the land and property markets in the area which is already urbanised. This...

The control of urban sprawl often involves policies of allowable use zoning. Such policies may, however, provoke leapfrog development through their inflationary effect on the land and property markets in the area which is already urbanised. This inflationary effect results in particular from the...

Research on metropolization has been very active during the 1990s, but it seems to have relatively run out during the next decade. In this paper, we review the way metropolization was dealt with in economics these last ten years. We use bibliometric tools and network analysis so as to bring out...

This article aims at identifying emergent secondary centers within the Bordeaux metropolitan area and measuring their impact on residential and commercial real estate values, through the estimate of hedonic gradients. The various scales of the urban polycentrism are explored through the taking...

Land use changes generate some conflicts, in particular between agricultural and residential uses in the urbanization context and sprawl phenomena. Coastal zones also produce specific amenities that create conflicts over land-use, increase housing and land values and, associated with and/or...

The influence of land use on daily mobility patterns can be described by the two dimensions of urban form: the first is quantitative, that is density, and the second is qualitative, that is land use mix. Empirical studies usually add control variables such as sociodemographic characteristics....

The priority for France’s “Grenelle II” environmental legislation is to reduce the consumption of space caused by urbanisation. The best tool for achieving this goal is zoning within a territorial planning framework. Yet zoning also tends to increase property values, due to the scarcity...
