Does the monocentric model work in a polycentric urban system? An examination of German metropolitan regions

Urban Studies, 2020
In explaining the determinants of urban spatial structure, researchers have relied on the traditional monocentric ‘Alonso-Mills-Muth’ model. This article contributes to this discussion by testing the viability of the monocentric model when applied to metropolitan areas in Germany, a country traditionally associated with a polycentric urban structure ...

A model of non-central production in a monocentric city

Journal of Urban Economics, 1979
Abstract This paper develops a model of production outside the CBD in a monocentric city. The production process is a retail process, and consumers make costless circumferential shopping trips to retail producers. These producers use labor and building space to produce their output, and retail workers commute circumferentially to work at zero cost ...

Modeling intermodal equilibrium for bimodal transportation system design problems in a linear monocentric city

Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2012
Abstract This paper investigates the intermodal equilibrium, road toll pricing, and bus system design issues in a congested highway corridor with two alternative modes – auto and bus – which share the same roadway along this corridor. On the basis of an in-depth analysis of the demand and supply sides of the bimodal transportation system, the mode ...

Calibration of a monocentric city model with mixed land use and congestion

Regional Science and Urban Economics, 2009
Abstract A model of a monocentric city with traffic congestion is specified and calibrated to metropolitan Chicago for 1956. The computations suggest that the market allocation of households to locations (i.e., rings) differed from an efficient location pattern.

Continuum modeling of park-and-ride services in a linear monocentric city with deterministic mode choice

Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2009
The objective of this paper is to enhance the insights into commuters’ travel choice behaviors in a competitive railway/highway system with continuum park-and-ride services along a travel corridor. It is assumed that parking charges gradually decrease from the city center to the corridor boundary and commuters are continuously distributed along the ...

Taste heterogeneity and urban spatial structure: The logit model and monocentric theory reconciled

Journal of Urban Economics, 1990
Abstract A model of urban spatial structure for a linear and closed monocentric city is formulated by allowing the presence of randomly distributed idiosyncratic tastes for location in an otherwise uniform household population. Land use equilibrium conditions are shown to have a stochastic representation which depends on the distribution of the ...

Historical evidence on the monocentric urban model: a case study of Cleveland, 1915–1980

Applied Economics Letters, 2003
Much of the empirical work in urban economics focuses on Chicago because of the land value data gathered by Hoyt and Olcott. This article presents new land value data for Cleveland, Ohio and I uses it to show that while the urban form of Cleveland evolved much as Chicago's did, the timing of the changes was quite different.

Housing and Commuting in an Extended Monocentric Model

2010
We model a city in which jobs are exogenous and distributed across an extended business area in which transport has a nonzero cost. Households are homogeneous in terms of utility and gross income, but each household chooses its residential location on the basis of its place of employment, which is deemed to be fixed.

The Monocentric Model with Polycentric Employment: Ring versus Tract Estimates of the Negative Exponential Decline of Density

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016
The increase in employment away from Central Business Districts raises questions about the continued applicability of the monocentric model and its prediction of the negative decline of density, yet the model continues to be used and produces reasonable results.

THE EMERGENCE OF CENTRALITY IN A TRANSITION ECONOMY: COMPARING LAND MARKET DYNAMICS MEASURED UNDER MONOCENTRIC AND SEMIPARAMETRIC MODELS*

Journal of Regional Science, 2006
ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the emergence of Krakow's historic core as the city's economic center after Poland's economic reforms of 1989—reforms that introduced market forces into land markets. Using a semiparametric approach to identify pricing centers, an evolving and polycentric price surface is revealed.
