“…Highly fragmented councils might hinder the approval of any new regulations (including planning amendments). Majorities backed by landslide electoral victories might likewise find it easier to promote urban expansion, even if voters are opposed to such measures (see Solé-Ollé and Viladecans-Marsal, 2012 Insert Table 1 The other two rows in Table 1 Note that, since both developable and developed land have both been measured with respect to the initial size of the city, their evolution can be readily compared. Thus, according to these data, the real growth in city size during this period was quite staggeringly high (approximately 50% growth across the whole period), although it was much lower than 11 Note that the increase in the amount of vacant land over the period is equal to the increase in developable land (i.e., t-t0 planned city growth (at more than 100%).…”

“…effect of topography, Solé-Ollé and Viladecans, 2012, on the effects of the amount of vacant land, and Kahn, 2011, Hilber and Robert-Nicoud, 2012, and Solé-Ollé and Viladecans, 2012 on the preferences of residents). What is less evident, however, is that these drivers also affect the size of the impact of a highway on land use decisions.…”

“…Yet, any empirical evidence in favor of this hypothesis is scarce (Dhering et al, 2008), suggesting the need to look elsewhere for a fuller picture. Indeed, various authors have recently provided evidence that interest groups, comprising both developers and environmentalists, might also be fairly influential (e.g., Glaeser et al, 2005a;Hilber and Robert-Nicoud, 2011;Solé-Ollé and Viladecans, 2012). The role played by pro-growth coalitions was also highlighted in Molotch's classical study (1976), in which the term 'urban growth machine' was first coined.…”

“…We uncover marked differences in the network characteristics of the successful landowners and the unsuccessful ones, in accord with the idea that advantageous positions in relationship networks help to make implicit deals that take advantage of a missing formal market in political favours (Sobel, 2002;Jackson et al , 2012;Coleman, 1990;Burt, 2000;Granovetter, 2005). This adds to the literature on urban development and zoning decisions, where very little is currently known about the role of such relationship networks in rezoning decisions, though the role of relationships has been widely argued to be important (Simon & Henneberry, 2000;Calabrese et al , 2007;Solé-Ollé & Viladecans-Marsal, 2012;Dehring et al , 2008;Hilber & Robert-Nicoud, 2013;Engle et al , 1992;Solé-Ollé & Viladecans-Marsal, 2013). …”
