Over the course of two decades, Urban Economics has achieved a worldwide audience, and has been translated into Chinese, Greek, Russian, and Korean. Like the eight previous editions, this edition provides a clear and concise presentation of the economic forces that:
- cause the development of cities;- determine the spatial form of cities;- cause urban economies to grow or shrink;- generate urban problems such as poverty, crime, and congestion;- make the market for urban housing unique; and- shape the tax and spending policies of local governments.
In addition to developing the basic concepts of urban economics, the book uses economic analysis to evaluate the merits of policies designed to address our most vexing urban problems.
New and expanded chapters on urban housing, distribution of jobs and people, land rent and manufacturing land use, and the urban labor market.
Clear organization in 5 parts with a greater emphasis on housing and how land is used by the people who live and work there.
Part I introduces the key concepts of urban economics, which provide a foundation for economic analysis throughout the book.
End-of-Chapter Exercises give students the opportunity to test their mastery of the material and extend the analysis.
For readers who could benefit from a review of microeconomics concepts, Chapter 24 ("Models of Microeconomics") provides a review of the key concepts developed in an intermediate course.
