“…According to a study by Giuliano et al (2012), highway network accessibility was significantly related to the growth of employment centres and urban spatial structure in the 1990s in the Los Angeles region. Examining the relation of specific highway improvement projects and employment change in three Californian counties from 1980 to 2000, Funderburg et al (2010) report that employment growth can be highly variable -both positive and negative. They conclude that the type of highway improvement (e.g.…”

Improvements in geographical information systems, the wider availability of high-resolution digital data and more sophisticated econometric techniques have all contributed to increasing academic interest and activity in long-term impacts of transport infrastructure networks (TINs) on land use (LU). This paper provides a systematic review of recent empirical evidence from the USA, Europe and East Asia, classified regarding the type of transport infrastructure (road or rail), LU indicator (land cover, population or employment density, development type) and outcome (significance, relationship's direction) as well as influential exogenous factors. Proximity to the rail network is generally associated with population growth (particularly soon after the development of railway infrastructure), conversion to residential uses and the development of higher residential densities. Meanwhile, proximity to the road network is frequently associated with increases in employment densities as well as the conversion of land to a variety of urban uses including commercial and industrial development. Compared with road infrastructure, the impact of rail infrastructure is often less significant for land cover or population and employment density change. The extent of TINs' impact on LU over time can be explained by the saturation in TIN-related accessibility and LU development. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Studying the effect of highways on suburbanization between 1950 and 1990 for all 2000 metropolitan statistical areas in the United States that had populations over 100,000 in 1990 and central city populations over 50,000 in 1950, Baum-Snow (2007 concluded that central city population in 1990 would have been 8% greater had the interstate highway system not been built. Additional research also supports that highways affect growth patterns (Duranton & Turner, 2007;Funderburg, Nixon, Boarnet, & Ferguson, 2008), and in a comprehensive review, Handy (2002) …”

“…More work has been done with micro geocoded housing data using GIS than with geo-coded firm-level data, though Greenstone et al (2010) demonstrate the possibilities. Very little research brings both geo-coded firm and household data together, though the planning literature is one exception (e.g., Funderberg et al, 2010).…”

“…10 The identifying assumption is that the main factor affecting trend differences between the two groups is the road construction, a strong assumption. Funderberg et al (2010) control for other factors that could account for different growth rates between the groups to strengthen their identification. A possible research design weakness is that the control tracts were very close to the treatment tracts.…”

Integrating Regional Economic Development Analysis and Land Use Economics

Two largely separate literatures exist on regional economic development and land use economics. In this chapter, we argue that a full understanding of each of the two areas requires greater knowledge of their interrelationship. We review key studies of the two literatures, particularly those related to the close interconnectedness of regional economic development and land use. We contend that a critical shortcoming in the literatures is that key features that affect both land use and economic activity are typically not systematically considered. We then posit that the spatial equilibrium framework is especially suited for understanding the various feedback mechanisms that affect both. Also particularly promising are the increased availability of GIS and micro data, as well as recent methodological advances in empirical estimation and modeling.1
