Contrary to the popular notion that the advancing frontier of urban development has been swallowing and destroying natural ecosystems we present evidence that the sprawl of cities creates ample open space in peri-urban areas. Traditional view of city–nature dichotomy and clear spatial...

In a previous paper (Czamanski and Roth in Ann Reg Sci 46(1):101–118, <CitationRef CitationID="CR2">2011</CitationRef>), we demonstrated that spatial variation in characteristic time can lead to leapfrogging and scattered development, especially in times when interest rates are low or negligible. We explained this result by modeling the...</citationref>

The engineering view of a measurable, supply-independent, demand for parking that can be expressed by “minimum parking codes” has been generally rejected during the last two decades and is gradually being replaced by “maximum provision” codes, limited parking development, and demand...
