sprawlers: Some notes from my Urban Economics Class
http://sprawlers.blogspot.com/2009/11/some-notes-from-my-urban-economics.html
Some notes from my Urban Economics Class. My favorite concept from the Urban Economics class I took with Dick Voith in 2007 was this:. 1 city growth rates are skewed so that cities grow more quickly than they decline;. 2 urban decline is highly persistent;. 3 positive shocks increase population more than they increase housing prices;. 4 negative shocks decrease housing prices more than they decrease population;. 5 if housing prices are below construction costs, then the city declines; and.

The Utopia Project: You say you want a revolution
http://theutopiaproj.blogspot.com/2012/01/you-say-you-want-revolution.html
Wednesday, January 4, 2012. You say you want a revolution. Joseph Skvorecky, a survivor of both Nazi and Communist regimes, is quoted:. In 1981, long before the Iron Curtain fell, Mr. Skvorecky shared a stage in Toronto with Margaret Atwood, Allen Ginsberg and others who were discussing “The Writer and Human Rights.” He said that an artist must be a reactionary, to stand out from his culture by offering “some little opposition.”.

Friday, 18 October 2013. Book - Urban Fabrics Inside Out. Two new publications set out to investigate the urban structure from a different angle than the ever same physical structure perspective.
