Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
This article studies the dynamics of urban spatial structure from the supply side of the real estate market and tests the capacity of regional governments to manage urban growth by influencing the location choices of developers in Portland, Oregon. The model results indicate that commercial development shows a clear trend of decentralization from its central city. Instead, commercial developers tended to locate them in locations within or in close proximity to employment subcenters.
