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...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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 Article offers a defense of outsider, legal-political intervention and community triage in inner-city anti-poverty campaigns under circumstances of widespread urban social disorganization, public and private sector neglect, and nonprofit resource scarcity. In mounting this defense, the...

Governments and planners in the Global North are increasingly faced with the challenge of providing services for growing numbers of families in the inner city. Rather than quitting the city, couples are staying to raise children in gentrified, working class housing or in new medium and high...

In the post World War II period, most U.S. cities experienced large movements of population from the city centers to the suburbs. In this paper we provide causal evidence that this process of suburbanization can be explained by the rise of violent crime in city centers. We do so by proposing a...

A home is typically thought of as a bundle of land and structure. Land is supplied inelastically and is non-reproducible. Land values are therefore affected by a number of demand factors. Conceptually, structures are easily produced, and thus are supplied elastically. Under elastic supply, it is...

In urban analytics, ‘crowding’ implies the spatiotemporal distributional unevenness of people’s stays and flows in middle-scale urban spaces, and has since become an emerging keyword, attracting not only practical interests but also research interests, especially in the current IoT devised...

Frank Manfrahs hat aus seiner langjährigen Praxis das 9K-Citymanagement-Modell entwickelt, welches das Management komplexer Innenstadtprozesse deutlich vereinfacht. Er ist der festen Überzeugung, dass ein Niedergang unserer oftmals wunderbaren Stadt- und Ortszentren nicht nur ein immenser...

This paper documents and explains the striking rise in the proclivity of college-educated individuals to reside near city centers. We show that this recent urban revival is driven entirely by younger cohorts in larger cities. With a residential choice model, we quantify the role of jobs,...

This paper documents and explains the striking rise in the proclivity of college-educated individuals to reside near city centers since 2000. We show that this recent urban revival is driven almost entirely by younger college graduates in larger cities. With a residential choice model, we...

Centralized employment remains a benchmark stylization of metropolitan land use. To address its empirical relevance, we delineate "central employment zones" (CEZs) central business districts together with nearby concentrated employment - for 183 metropolitan areas in 2000. To do so, we first...
