Urban Spatial Structure and Household Travel Time
The sprawl of U.S. cities has attracted criticism from many sources in recent years. Among the greatest of the cited harms of sprawl is the alleged travel time burden that it imposes on its residents. Previous research has tested the relationship between the sprawl of business activity and travel …

Urban spatial structure, housing markets, and resilience to natural hazards
This dissertation consists of three essays on urban structure, housing, and environment. The first paper contributes to the existing debate on the co-location hypothesis by devising a proximity measure and controlling for a set of other urban form measures. Multiple regression analysis revealed …

CompactCities : analyzing the urban spatial structure in cities with growth restrictions
… at issues such as, (i) the effect of density on urban travel behavior factors like commute distances and public transit usage; (ii) the economics at the urban edge; (iii) the claim that sprawl is inevitable, (iv) effect of growth restrictions on land rent and (v) the relevance of compaction in …

The role of urban spatial structure in reducing VMT and GHG emissions
The aim of this study is to uncover the role of urban spatial structure in greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation and to understand how sustainable urban form can better reduce climate change. Until now, a great number of studies have focused on the links between urban spatial structure and travel …

Examining Commuting Times and Jobs-housing Imbalance in Seoul: An Empirical Analysis of Urban Spatial Structure
… aspects. Seoul has experienced rapid urbanization. Also, high density developments and uncontrolled land use gave rise to extensive urban sprawl in the Seoul Metropolitan Areas (SMA). Due to increased use of private vehicles, which created serious traffic congestion, the Seoul …

Spatial Econometric Modeling of Urban Spatial Structure of Chicago and Seoul in the 1990s: Agglomeration Economies, Information Technology and Commuting
… features in common in the past and the current urban development path. In this respect, it is interesting to examine and compare whether the two cities share the similar type of urban spatial structure as well corresponding to the similarity in an urban economic aspect. By developing a spatial …

Using Big Data Sets to Analyse Human Behaviour Patterns and Urban Spatial Structure - A Case Study of the Spatial-Temporal Dynamics in Shanghai
… phone signal data can be used in geography and urban planning analysis. The approximate spatial position of the mobile-phone user can be calculated according to the signal data sent by a mobile-phone and the location of the base station. This research demonstrates that it is possible to use the …

DYNAMIC GEOSPATIAL MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF PREDOMINANTLY INFORMAL CITIES: AN INTEGRATED AGENT-BASED AND CELLULAR AUTOMATA MODEL OF URBAN GROWTH
Against the backdrop of urbanization, cities have evolved globally, but more so in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in recent decades. Cities in the sub-region differ in many ways from those in other parts of world. One of the major differences is the overwhelmingly informal nature of urban growth in many …

The spatial and temporal dynamics of commuting : examining the impacts of urban growth patterns, 1980-2000
… is broadly concerned with the issues of urban transportation and urban spatial structure change. The focus of the research is to interpret the increase in commuting time and distance in the last two decades. The major hypothesis is that a significant proportion of commuting length …

Long-term prospects of land value uplift in planned new urban centres: Measurement, modelling and predictions
… local communities to invest in public infrastructure, facilities and services. This topic is trending among fast-growing cities in most countries. Areas that already show high demand for development receive particular attention due to good prospects of land value capture (LVC). However, …
