Covid-era built environment and travel
This study revisits the linkage between land use interventions and travel behavior in the COVID era using increasingly available cell phone-based individual mobility data. Reducing the carbon emissions associated with personal vehicle travel is crucial to achieving climate targets; policies such as California's Senate Bill 375 require that land use planning achieve climate targets at the regional level. The implementation relies heavily on local …

Art, Indigenous Sovereignty, and Resistance in the Age of Big Oil
This article analyzes an art installation performed and exhibited in 2018 by the Séliš u Ksanka/Salish and Kootenai artist Corwin Clairmont: Two-Headed Arrow/The Tar Sands Project. Clairmont is a printmaker and creator of inventive and playful installations that follow conceptualist principles, which designate ideas and action as inherently aesthetic, but he is also and primarily a traditionally oriented Séliš u Ksanka artist. Concerned with petr…
Parcels, points, and proximity
While there has been no shortage of discussion of urban big data, smart cities, and cities as complex systems, there has been less discussion of the implications of big data as a source of individual data for planning and social science research. This study takes advantage of increasingly available land parcel and business establishment data to analyze how the measurement of proximity to urban services or amenities performed in many fields can be…
Rising inequality and neighbourhood mixing in US metro areas
Superstar cities with high-paying creative-class jobs, venture capital, and innovation are thought to be more unequal. We analyze mixing in neighbourhoods by income, education and occupation, relating this intra-urban measure with regional productivity indicators. Using non-overlapping census units and a machine-learning estimation technique that iterates over all combinations of economic, business, housing and cultural indicators, we identify ‘i…
Mapping the landscape of urban work
Home-based businesses represent a large and growing portion of the economy, though little is known beyond limited surveys. This paper describes a novel method of identifying businesses located within residences using parcel-level land use data across 15 counties in California and analyzes their evolution from 1997 to 2014, focusing on their distribution across neighborhoods. Home-based business represented nearly one in six businesses in 2014, an…
Los Angeles employment concentration in the 21st century
This paper is an empirical analysis of employment centres in the Los Angeles region from 1997 to 2014. Most extant work on employment centres focuses on identification methodology or their dynamics during a period of industrial restructuring from 1980 to 2000. We analyse employment centres using point-based, rather than census tract-based employment data and a non-parametric identification method with a single concept of proximity. We focus on ch…

Globalizing manufacturing but not invention
Production by foreign-owned automotive firms in the United States provides an opportunity to investigate the co-location of technological advance and manufacturing. While some scholars report that certain foreign firms are transplanting both of these activities to the United States, others are more circumspect. We first identify automotive patents across American metropolitan areas to develop a new taxonomy of automotive invention. Patent ownersh…
Has Boston's 2011 cigar packaging and pricing regulation reduced availability of single-flavoured cigars popular with youth
Retailers throughout Boston are in compliance with the regulation. The regulation has been effective in reducing levels and disparities in availability of flavoured single cigars popular with youth across Boston neighbourhoods, regardless of socioeconomic status and racial/ethnic composition
Municipal Investment and Property Value Appreciation in Chicago’s Tax Increment Financing Districts
To determine whether Tax Increment Financing (TIF) triggers or captures growth, we examine the relationship between expenditures and property value change in Chicago’s TIF districts. A regression model relates spending type, which varies from infrastructure to developer subsidies, to a district’s property value growth between 2002 and 2012. Results show variation in the impact of spending, with subsidies for commercial development having the clea…
Invention in the United States City System
This article draws on several empirical regularities underlying central place theory (CPT) to enhance understanding of the uneven distribution of invention in the U.S. city system, especially the immense array of specializations that comprise national technological advance. CPT depicts city systems as collections of places in which functions expand in number as city size increases. Small cities have few functions and large cities many. A long-ter…
Smokeless tobacco products sold in Massachusetts from 2003 to 2012
The number of smokeless tobacco products increased in the Massachusetts market. Further, mean unionised (free) nicotine levels in smokeless tobacco products of several manufacturers continued to rise despite decreasing levels from other manufacturers. The current success in tobacco control is very likely undermined without government surveillance, regulation and widespread public disclosure of nicotine levels in these products
Zoning and Land Use
Little attention has been paid to the role of early land use institutions in development patterns, the creation of disamenity zones of environmental injustice, and the promotion of space-consuming suburban development. This study uses historic Sanborn Fire Insurance maps and spatial analytic techniques to expose zoning's tendency to spread disamenities and disperse incompatible land uses in early Phoenix. While on paper Euclidean zoning's stratif…
Residential development during the Great Recession
Where people choose to live and the type of city their decisions create has formed the basis of decades of scholarly endeavor. While the typical notion of a tradeoff between access and space remains important, residential choice is more than ever shaped by the dynamics of sprawl, polycentricity, land-use institutions (zoning), and the composition of the immediately surrounding area. We analyze these new dynamics with a logistic regression model o…
'Will Come Forth in Tongues and Fury'
‘Will Come Forth in Tongues and Fury’ uses the pretext of a Simon Ortiz poem, ‘Irish Poets on a Saturday and an Indian,’ to identify and analyse the unacknowledged links between US and British variants of colonialism. In particular the categories of race and space are engaged, as is the colonial technology of the reservation

Suburbs for a Labor Elite
Unlike many suburbs at the beginning of the twentieth century, Oakwood, a of Knoxville, Tennessee, manifested a blue-collar character. Planned to appeal to the middle class, Oakwood instead attracted highly skilled blue-collar workers and families as residents. Though well-served by lines, Oakwood was not a suburb. The Oakwood example calls into question both the extent to which the function of a may be gleaned from morphological evidence and the…
