Exposure to urban traffic-induced air pollution is a major health concern of cities. This paper analyzes the urban structure when localized pollution exposure arises from commuting traffic and investigates the feedback effect of endogenous pollution on residential choices. The presence of stronger traffic-induced air pollution exposure reduces the geographical extent and the population of cities. Land rents fall with distance from the city center while population densities may be non-monotonic. Cleaner vehicle technologies reduce pollution exposure everywhere, increase population and density everywhere and do not affect the spatial extent of the city. The paper compares the urban equilibrium with the first-best. The first-best structure is a less expanded city with higher densities at the center and lower densities at the fringe.

“…The former considered a regional urban governance structure, while the latter considered the case of two transport modes and revenue recycling schemes. Another extension on congestion pricing models treats household labor supply as endogenous to capture the extent to which households may trade-off earned wages with tolls (Verhoef, 2005;Anas & Xu, 1999;Anas & Hiramatsu, 2013).…”

“…Goods and services are produced in tall buildings using large capital-output and small land-output ratios. The model works with linear equations and inequalities that can be solved -so the model can be optimized -through a linear programming process (Anas and Xu 1999).…”

“…Casey (1955) first used the gravity model expression. The investigations into the common effects of land-use and congestions (Mills 1974;Anas and Xu 1999) can facilitate the application of the progressive European directives in reference with sustainable development. The approaches of the latest dynamic models (Friedrich et al 2000;Peter 2007) can be thought-provoking by developing a dynamic and controllable urban model.…”
