Chapter 4
Urban Land Values, Transportation Costs Impact
and the Urban Form
“Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner
Major Topics How transportation costs and productivity
affect land values in a city Why and how a freely functional competitive
land market will lead to land being used at its “highest and best use”
The impact of population growth, transport nodes and regulation on land values and density
The nature and cause of the major characteristics of the urban form of the typical American city, and how this form has been changing
The nature of competition between central cities and suburbs for residents and business
“Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner

Urban Form
Physical spatial characteristics of a city Size Population density Density variation in different parts
A steep urban form with a central focus of intense land use and value
A sprawled urban form with multiple focus points and more even land values.

Residual Nature of Land Value
Four basic “factors of production Labor, capital and raw materials
are “mobile” factors Land is not “mobile”
“Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner
Transportation Costs A major reason for differences in land
value from one location to another.
Transport costs are part of “mobile” costs, hence lower transport cost = higher land value
When the highest and best use of land wins the site the aggregate transportation costs are minimized for the market as whole
“Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner
The “Bid-Rent” Curve The “bid-rent” is the maximum rent that
a potential user would be willing to pay for a site or location – below we have a monocentric city.

Bid-Rent Functions of Three Land Uses With Differing Productivity & Sensitivity to Transport Cost
Changes in Productivity Influence Value Across Space Equally
“Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner
Changes in Transportation Costs Influence Value More as Distance Increases

Distortion of Land Use Patterns: Polycentric or Multiple Nuclei Cities Real world cities are not purely monocentric, they have
other major activity areas (MACs) besides the CBD. Large cities are sprinkled with neighborhood business
districts (NBDs) that serve needs of local communities

Clustering Land Uses into Sectors and Zoning
Originally aimed at minimizing negative externalities from one land use towards another by grouping similar land use together
Such clustering and separation of uses tends to increase transport costs and encourage “sprawl”, i.e. lower densities of land use
Currently only planned communities are able to circumvent traditional zoning regulations
“Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner
Consider Population Changes and Land Use Regulation or Constraints
First a monocentric city showing land rents
Then impose boundary constraints on a growing city

A Cross-Section of Land Rents
The New Smart Growth Rhetoric
1.How can you argue against “smart”?
2.Growth boundaries increase central land values as an area grows but it also makes it more expensive for future residents.
“Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner
Market Solutions to Traffic Congestion and Pollution
Cities and counties could encourage walkable communities with flexible mixed use cluster zoning and green buildings
Incentives to developers to consider smarter planning… viz. faster processing of zoning change requests, assistance with infill land assembly etc.

The Growth of Suburbia…
Factors contributing to the dispersion of the urban core are: Decrease in the price of cars
Building of the Interstate system
“Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner
… And why this is a problem for local governments
Governmental and public services of the central city are usually not decreased in line with fewer residents
In most American cities, the middle and upper income population has largely left the central urban core, placing most purchasing power in the suburbs
Increased transportation costs caused by traffic congestion further disperses households and jobs
