Do State Accessory Dwelling Unit Reforms Promote Multigenerational Living? Evidence from California
Problem, research strategy, and findings Multigenerational living arrangements have become more common in the United States as housing costs rise and family structures evolve. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) could support this shift by allowing relatives to live nearby while maintaining privacy and independence, and advocates have invoked this promise to justify laws intended to facilitate ADU development. In the past decade, at least eight U.S. …
Analysing non-linearities and threshold effects between street-level built environments and local crime patterns
Despite the substantial number of studies on the relationships between crime patterns and built environments, the impacts of street-level built environments on crime patterns have not been definitively determined due to the limitations of obtaining detailed streetscape data and conventional analysis models. To fill these gaps, this study focuses on the non-linear relationships and threshold effects between built environments and local crime patte…
The role of renter burden and affordable units at risk in city-level housing inadequacy
While substantial research has studied the effects of government-assisted provision of affordable housing units, little is known about the challenges that arise when the stock of affordable units is increasingly at risk due to the approaching expiration of their low-cost status. This study provides an empirical investigation of how city-level at-risk affordable units, as well as median rent and rent burden, relate to housing inadequacy using data…
Persistent racial diversity in neighbourhoods across the United States
While there is a long history of racial change in the United States, and how this plays out within neighbourhoods, a key recurring question is whether some neighbourhoods are able to achieve and maintain racial diversity, or whether they simply transition to dominance by a new racial group. We test and find evidence of 1631 neighbourhoods across the United States from 1980 to 2020 that exhibit persistent racial diversity (PRD), and assess where t…
Do employment centers matter? Consequences for commuting distance in the Los Angeles region, 2002–2019
Measuring the Built Environment with Google Street View and Machine Learning
How concentrated disadvantage moderates the built environment and crime relationship on street segments in Los Angeles
Criminological theories have posited that the built environment impacts where crime occurs; however, measuring the built environment is difficult. Furthermore, it is uncertain whether the built environment differentially impacts crime in high-disadvantage neighborhoods. This study extracts features of the built environment from Google Street View images with a machine learning semantic segmentation strategy to create measures of fences, walls, bu…
Persistent racial diversity in neighborhoods
We explore neighborhoods in Southern California from 1980 to 2010 that exhibit persistent racial diversity (PRD) and the consequences of this PRD. Initial exploratory analyses show that the racial composition of the area surrounding the neighborhood in 1980 is associated with which neighborhoods become PRDs. Our primary analyses compare how PRD neighborhoods change over time (1980–2010) based on several socio-demographic measures to a matched gro…
Managing disruptive technologies
Cities worldwide are facing new challenges and opportunities with the proliferation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones. However, despite the increasing importance of managing drone activities at the local level, little is known about the extent to which cities adopt regulatory measures to deal with the challenges posed by this emerging technology and the factors that determine the local policy adopted. This study examines the dynamics …
Employment deconcentration and spatial dispersion in metropolitan areas
Decoding urban landscapes
Proposing new measures of employment deconcentration and spatial dispersion across metropolitan areas in the US
Exploring the Determinants of Variations in Land Use Policy Outcomes
This article explores ways in which land use policy outcomes vary across contexts focusing, as an example, on urban growth boundaries. Specifically, it analyzes how various contextual factors interact with the policy and generate diverging development outcomes by employing a kernel-based regularized least squares method. Results show that the policy effectiveness is largely dependent on the region’s population size, initial density levels, and or…
Concentration or diffusion? Exploring the emerging spatial dynamics of poverty distribution in Southern California
Metropolitan governance structure and growth-inequality dynamics in the United States
While much scholarly attention has been paid to ways in which metropolitan areas are politically structured and operated to achieve a dual goal, economic growth, and equality, relatively less is known about the complex relationship between metropolitan governance structures and growth-inequality dynamics. This study investigates how and to what extent metropolitan governance structures shape regional economic growth and inequality trajectories us…
Fight or flight? Crime as a driving force in business failure and business mobility
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…
Land Use Change Dynamics in Southern California
This article examines how municipal planning contexts can shape urban land use dynamics by investigating the parcel-level land use changes in a five-county Southern California metropolitan area between 1990 and 2005. An analysis, based on a multinomial logit model, shows that land use change patterns significantly vary by municipalities that were situated in heterogeneous planning contexts. More specifically, cities with limited ability to expand…
Political fragmentation and land use changes in the Interior Plains
Residential and job mobility
While studies on residential and job mobility are typically conducted on a micro scale, an examination of region-wide mobility dynamics can also be meaningful, as it can reflect the importance of system-wide factors and complex interlinkages among numerous micro-level decisions. This study explores how region-wide residential and job mobility rates vary in the US and identifies factors that shape their variation with emphasis on the interplay bet…
Inspecting Regional Economic Structural Changes through Linking Occupations and Industries
The increasing integration of the world economy has demonstrated the critical need to identify industries and associated skill sets that could help regions maintain their competitiveness. The challenge is to align human capital with current and emerging trends of the regional economy. This study presents a framework to explore regional economic structural changes in terms of occupation-industry linkages and deciphers an array of economic signals …
Framing Urban Systems and Planning Concerns as a Multilevel Problem
Metropolitan economies have been pounded by enormous structural changes in the last three decades. This structural change has manifested itself in a different spatial organization of production within metropolitan areas. This article examines how such complex interactions are described in the integrated planning support models to simulate regional as well as subregional growth dynamics. It focuses on the way in which vertical integration is handl…

The Intention to Move and Residential Location Choice Behaviour
This paper aims to quantify the extent to which transport and other factors impact on residential decisions using Oxfordshire, UK, as a case study. It investigates the impacts of the current dwelling, household characteristics and alternative properties on the probability of moving. It also highlights the trade-off between access, space and other attributes in residential location choice. Particular emphasis is placed on assessing the impact of t…
The influence of community structure on crime news coverage
This study examines patterns of local newspaper crime coverage in terms of the community structure model, which is derived from the research of Tichenor, Donohue, and Olien. A total of 32 metropolitan statistical areas and primary metropolitan statistical areas, classified into four different categories of community according to the structural characteristics of structural pluralism and ethnic diversity, were selected for inclusion in this study.…
