Perspectives on U.S. ‐ Mexico border Colonias
The U.S.-Mexico borderlands have been the focus of research for many years, with themes and topics as varied and diverse as the border region itself. The Journal of Borderlands Studies has played a vital role in the dissemination of this research, and scholars and readers owe much to the journal's singular focus on borderlands studies across the globe. With this special volume, the JBS once again demonstrates its commitment to bringing forward cr…
Undocumented immigrants and quality of life in New Mexico and Arizona Colonias
Recent legislation aims to stop the northward flow of undocumented immigrants into the United States by creating amnesty and formal guest worker programs and by increasing the “deterrent effect” at the border. The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) contained similar policies, and subsequent research tells us much about what to expect from proposed “reforms.” However, virtually no research has considered how immigration reforms have pl…
A Revisionist Model of Suburbanization and Sprawl
This article proposes a process-based conceptual model that explains sprawl in the United States since the 1970s. In contrast to traditional explanations that look to “natural,” or ecological, processes, our explanation of sprawl focuses on the local regulatory environment and the ways in which residents and homebuilders respond to it. We look at the way in which growth controls—given fragmentation—produce “spillovers” and whether spillovers have…
Localized Effects of Globalization
This paper explores how the rise of global industrialization has altered the internal complexion of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, the largest and fastest growing of Mexico's northern border cities. First, we trace the political-economic history of Ciudad Juárez and other northern Mexican border cities in order to understand the context of rapid industrialization. Second, we document the dimensions of industrialization by tracing historic trends in po…
Housing Prices in Tucson, Arizona
The hedonic approach is used to analyze selling prices for housing units in greater Tucson, Arizona, during 1998. Using over 6,400 Multiple Listing Service transactions, ordinary least-squares regression is used to estimate implicit prices for the amount of living space, age of the unit, and other housing attributes in this rapidly growing southwestern city. Price premiums are estimated for nine different real estate districts, which realtors bel…
Industrialization and land use change in Mexican border cities
The maquiladora (maquila) economy has brought enormous change to Mexico's northern border region during the last few decades. Scholars have studied many aspects of the region's maquila economy, including bi‐national trade, a range of environmental issues, and social and cultural impacts arising from rapid industrialization. Few, however, have examined the relationship between industrialization and the development of urban land. We respond to this…
Land Use Planning and Exurbanization in the Rural Mountain West
Exurban development is especially prevalent in rural areas of the Mountain West, where rapid population growth has led to the conversion of vast amounts of rural land and natural open space. This article argues that traditional approaches to land use planning hasten the pace of exurbanization in rural areas of the region. Building on this premise, the article presents a conceptual process-based model that links land use planning with exurbanizati…
Large City Interaction in the US Urban System
Mounting interest in the global system of cities has led many scholars to portray large, world-class cities as control points in the global economy. From this position, they govern global banking, finance and international corporate relations with the assistance of advanced business services and telecommunications. While large cities have taken on many global functions, recent research has cast them only as outposts in the global economy and pays…
City Systems and Industrial Market Structure
Industrial geographers are broadening both the scope and scale of analyses in their quest for deeper understanding of industrial formation and evolution. This has led them to link industrial processes at various spatial scales and to revisit well-defined organizational structures, especially city systems. Taking stock of renewed interest, this paper investigates the relationship between urban regional systems and industrial market structure. The …
