Don’t call it sprawl: Metropolitan Structure in the 21st Century 21世纪大都市的结构 地址 caj 百度云 pdb pdf kindle txt 下载

In Don't Call It Sprawl, the current policy debate over urban sprawl is put into a broader analytical and historical context. The book informs people about the causes and implications of the changing metropolitan structure rather than trying to persuade them to adopt a panacea to all perceived problems. Bogart explains modern economic ideas about the structure of metropolitan areas to people interested in understanding and influencing the pattern of growth in their city. Much of the debate about sprawl has been driven by a fundamental lack of understanding of the structure, functioning, and evolution of modern metropolitan areas. The book analyzes ways in which suburbs and cities (trading places) trade goods and services with each other. This approach helps us better understand commuting decisions, housing location, business location, and the impact of public policy in such areas as downtown redevelopment and public school reform.

Bogart puts the current policy debate over urban sprawl into a broader analytical context. He explains economic ideas about the structure of metropolitan areas to people interested in understanding the pattern of growth in their city. It then uses these ideas to analyze the impact and effectiveness of various policies.
