Translator Exposure APIs
Environmental exposures have profound effects on health and disease. While public repositories exist for a variety of exposures data, these are generally difficult to access, navigate, and interpret. We describe the research, development, and application of three open application programming interfaces (APIs) that support access to usable, nationwide, exposures data from three public repositories: airborne pollutant estimates from the US Environm…
H awley, A mos
Amos Henry Hawley (1910–2009) was a key figure in twentieth‐century urban studies whose most enduring contribution is the codification and extension of human ecological theory. Human ecology offers a powerful holistic view of community social structure and change, linking social relations with spatial distributions, which finds its most common application in the study of urban regions. The origins of the theory, its central core – three basic pro…
Airport cities and metropolitan labor markets
Using Census 2000 CTPP tract-level data for the 51 largest U.S. metropolitan areas, airport cities—agglomerations of employment anchored by airports—are placed in the context of metropolitan spatial form in order to understand their emergence and function. Major airports anchor significant concentrations of employment which average one-third to one-half the size of the respective CBDs, depending upon the operationalization, while 80% of the airpo…
The Impact of Airports on US Urban Employment Distribution
The influence of airports on the distribution of employment within fifty-one large US metropolitan areas is measured in the context of three important elements of urban spatial structure: centers, corridors, and clusters. Analysis of tract-level census data for 2000 using spatial regression models for each metropolitan area revealed that central cities have a varying, but generally strong, effect on the distribution of metropolitan employment, as…
The Airport City Phenomenon
As air transport for leisure trips, business travel and goods shipment increased rapidly over the past several decades, the emergence of airport cities has been hypothesised. Busy commercial airports may be emerging as central transport nodes in large metropolitan areas, much as ports and rail terminals were in the past, anchoring employment servicing passengers, facilitating frequent travellers and providing a spatial focus for unrelated firms. …
Families in Flats, Revisited
High-rise flats occupy an ambiguous position in contemporary discussions of urbanism. While allowing for densely populated walking environments, they are widely seen as culturally inappropriate and, whether based on theories of life cycle or lifestyle, especially unsuitable for families with children. Despite the frequent discussion, empirical research into the impact of housing on daily life is rare and, because of strong selection effects, lack…
High-rise Living in Singapore Public Housing
In recent years, amid the debates of sustainable development and urban compactness, there has been a widening interest to reintroduce high-rise living in cities. Several European cities including London and Manchester are once again building high-rise housing as part of their urban housing strategy. Elsewhere, in Asia, Hong Kong and Singapore are distinguished by their high-rise public housing developments. With nearly half of the world's populat…

The Weakening Position of University Graduates in Singapore's Labor Market
Pulled along by global developments, Singapore is rapidly developing a "knowledge-based economy." Between 1990 and 2000, gross domestic product more than doubled (in constant dollars), and the number of managerial and professional jobs almost doubled. Such advances should be a boon to middle-class Singaporeans, but, instead, they find themselves under increasing economic pressure despite the increased need for educated labor and the surplus of ma…

The Control of High-Skill Labor and Entrepreneurship in the Early US Semiconductor Industry
Studies of entrepreneurship increasingly focus on the context of entrepreneurship, rather than on the characteristics of the entrepreneur. Arguing that the inability of particular firms to control high-skill labor is responsible for a critical component of contemporary entrepreneurship-technologically based spin-offs-the author provides a theoretical basis for the effects of career dynamics on entrepreneurship. A theory of entrepreneurship, drawi…
Labor-Market Imperfections and the Agglomeration of Firms
The regional literature suggests that local labor markets offer significant operating advantages to firms in knowledge-intensive industries and thus influence the development of contemporary industrial location patterns. Utilizing two data sets containing information on the employment changes of US semiconductor engineers during the critical formative period (1950-75), the author tests the pooling and anchoring hypotheses of urban economic theory…

National Industrial Structure and the Global System
Various forms of participation in the global system have been hypothesized to distort the structure of industrialization in developing countries, influencing the relations between industrial capital, labor, and output. We operationalize Kuznets's (1965) theoretical definition of industrialization utilizing energy consumption per capita, percent of the labor force employed in industry, and percent of GDP accountedfor by industry, to test several p…
