  • Urban Structure and Economic Growth

    Paul Gordon, Peter Gordon et al.CHAPTERThe Oxford handbook of urban…2012

    Research in recent years has reemphasized the importance of institutions that best poise entrepreneurs to succeed. This idea has been enriched over the years with the insights of Joseph Schumpeter F. A. Hayek, Douglass North, and many others. This article surveys recent work in urban economics and suggests that its challenge is to explain how entrepreneurs and others can be spatially poised to succeed. It calls attention to the underestimation of…

  • Commuting Trends in U.S. Cities in the 1990s

    Open AccessBumsoo Lee, Paul Gordon et al.ARTICLEJournal of Planning Education and…2009Cited by: 7References: 2

    This article attempts to explain the increase in commuting times in the 1990s after decades of stability. Although traditional explanations, for example both demographic variables (population growth and densities) and transportation variables (e.g. road capacity and transit use), pass the statistical significance tests, their overall impact was small. Instead, the article argues for the importance of strong income growth in the late 1990s, not le…

  • Metropolitan and Non-metropolitan Employment Trends in the US

    Open AccessPaul Gordon, Peter Gordon et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies1998Cited by: 10References: 26

    Employment trends are analysed for the period 1969-94 across metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas (disaggregated spatially) by region and by sector. The decentralisation story is persistent but complex. The 1980s turns out to be an aberration (and even in that period, suburban growth was stronger than central-city growth), because since 1988 the vigorous non-metropolitan growth of the 1970s has resumed, and now has a clear rural emphasis

  • Are Compact Cities a Desirable Planning Goal

    Peter Gordon, Herbert W Richardson et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American Planning…1997Cited by: 206

    This paper considers some key issues that help to evaluate whether or not the promotion of compact cities is a worthwhile planning goal. These are: the pressures on prime agricultural land; residential density preferences; energy resource savings; the potential for expanding transit use and promoting TODs (transit-oriented developments); the costs and benefits of suburbanization; the efficiency gains from compactness; the impact of telecommunicat…

  • Beyond Polycentricity

    Peter Gordon, Herbert W Richardson et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American Planning…1996

    This paper examines the distribution of employment among subcenters in the Los Angeles metropolitan region in 1970, 1980, and 1990, defined in terms of trip generation rates rather than employment densities. The results show that the number of subcenters declined from each analysis year to the next, and that the proportion of regional jobs in all subcenters is small and fell from year to year, even when the number of subcenters is held constant (…

  • The Commuting Paradox Evidence from the Top Twenty

    Peter Gordon, Herbert W Richardson et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American Planning…1991

    A comparison of auto commuting trip durations from the 1985 American Housing Survey to data from the 1980 census for the twenty largest metropolitan areas suggests that during the study period average trip times either fell by a statistically significant amount or remained the same. A paradox may exist in the widespread reports of congestion in spite of stable average trip durations. Perhaps average commute times are contained by the location adj…

  • The Spatial Mismatch Hypothesis

    Open AccessPaul Gordon, Peter Gordon et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies1989Cited by: 9References: 11

    This paper uses commuting times and distance data from the Nationwide Personal Transportation Studies of 1977 to 1983-4 to re-evaluate the spatial mismatch hypothesis. Neither minorities nor low-income workers have longer commutes. In fact, their commuting patterns are very similar to those of workers in general. This also implies that minorities are not constrained by income or housing to live closer to work. However, women consistently have sho…

  • Gender Differences in Metropolitan Travel Behaviour

    Paul Gordon, Peter Gordon et al.ARTICLERegional Studies1989Cited by: 51References: 1

    GORDON P., KUMAR A. and RICHARDSON H. W. (1989) Gender differences in metropolitan travel behaviour, Reg. Studies 23, 499–510. This research, based upon a US large national sample, finds that women consistently have shorter worktrips than men, regardless of income, occupation, marital and family status, mode of travel or location and that women undertake more non-worktrips than men. The results give no support to the arguments that women cannot a…

  • Economic Development, Population and Primacy

    Herbert W Richardson, Harry W Richardson et al.ARTICLERegional Studies1988Cited by: 3References: 4

    This paper investigates the relationship between economic development and primacy advanced by El-Shakhs, Mera and others, and finds no statistically significant link when obvious demographic influences are taken into account. Three variables (national population, the urban population share, and a Latin American dummy) explain 40% of the variation in primacy in a sample of 116 countries (including 82 developing countries). Economic factors do not …

  • Whither National Urban Policy in Developing Countries

    Open AccessHerbert W Richardson, Harry W RichardsonARTICLEUrban Studies1987Cited by: 6References: 3

    Most attempts to implement national urban policies in developing countries have failed. The causes of failure have been many (infeasible goals, poor implementation, poorly designed policies) but the most difficult problem has been the isolation of national urban policy from national economic planning and from the overall context of macroeconomic and sectoral policies. National policy should not be equated with slowing down urbanization; if so, it…

    A national urban development strategy may be important in increasing the welfare of rural as well as urban dwellers. Ten prototype strategies are analyzed: no intervention; policentric primate city region development; leapfrog decentralization within core regions; countermagnets; rural service centers; regional metropolis and subsystem development ; growth centers; development axes; provincial capitals; and secondary cities. The choice among thes…

  • A Note on Spatial Multipliers

    Herbert W Richardson, Harry W Richardson et al.ARTICLEEconomic Geography1978Cited by: 3

    This paper uses a Lowry type forecasting model for simulating the employment multiplier impacts in each of 81 zones of southern California of a projected increase in basic employment in one of the zones. The results show that the percentage employment increases become smaller with increasing distance, and that the spatial distribution is best expressed by a negative exponential distance function. It is suggested that detailed spatial disaggregati…

    Richardson H. W. (1976) Growth pole spillovers: the dynamics of backwash and spread, Reg. Studies 10, 1–9 Growth pole strategies have been abandoned or weakened in many countries because of their failure to generate area-wide development. This paper uses the theory of spread and backwash to suggest that net positive spillovers will not be created around a growth pole in the early years of its implementation, and very long time horizons are needed…
