Spatial duopoly and residential structure

Article Abstract:

A spatial duopoly model characterized by an endogenous residential structure is presented. In the model, two firms compete for customers. It is assumed that consumers can move into a bounded residential area and that they have the same level of utility as others outside the area. Several urban configurations are possible as a result of the interaction between firms' decisions related to location and the residential market for land: a residential pattern of a monocentric city for a small area, the pattern of a bicentric city for a large area, and two separate monocentric cities for a very large area.

Testing the efficiency of urban spatial growth: a case study of Tokyo

Article Abstract:

The most efficient land use models for Tokyo were compared to actual growth and land use data. The efficient land use model was based on a dynamic planning model and covered the period 1955 through 2020. The actual development results for the period 1955 through 1980 were very similar to the efficient model. The actual data from 1980 through 1984 showed a greater development of middle suburban areas than the efficient land use model.

Spatial patterns of residential development

Article Abstract:

Posits simple dynamic model of durable-housing development, with identical households and perfect developer foresight. Unlike with static models, house size likely to decrease, population density to increase, as city-center distance increases, with positive gradient to rent-curve.
