TLDR
In this paper, a model of non-monocentric urban land use is presented, which requires neither employment nor residential location to be specified a priori, and is capable of yielding multicentric pattern as well as monocentric and dispersed patterns, and generally yields multiple equilibria under each fixed set of parameter values.About:

Micro-Foundations of Urban Agglomeration Economies
Gilles Duranton,Diego Puga +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical micro-foundations of urban agglomeration economies are studied, based on sharing, matching, and learning mechanisms, and a handbook chapter is presented.

Economics of agglomeration
TL;DR: In this article, the main reasons for the formation of economic clusters involving firms and/or households are analyzed: (i) externalities under perfect competition; (ii) increasing returns under monopolistic competition; and (iii) spatial competition under strategic interaction.

Urban spatial structure.
TL;DR: Anas et al. as discussed by the authors discuss the role that urban size and structure play in people's lives and how to understand the organization of cities, which yields insights about economy-wide growth processes and sheds light on economic concepts.

Nursery Cities: Urban Diversity, Process Innovation and the Life-Cycle of Products
Gilles Duranton,Diego Puga +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model of process innovation is proposed, where firms learn about their ideal production process by making prototypes and switch to mass-production and relocate to specialised cities with lower costs.

Marshall's Scale Economies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate plant level production functions that include variables that allow for two types of scale externalities which plants experie nce in their local industrial environments: externalities from other plants in the same industry locally, usually called localization economies or, in a dynamic context, Marshall, Arrow, Romer [MAR] economies.

Equilibrium land use patterns in a nonmonocentric city
Hideaki Ogawa,Masahisa Fujita +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a non-monocentric urban land use model, which incorporates interdependences among economic activities, without prespecified locations of employment activities.

The optimum factory town
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the trade-off between economies of scale in production in the central business district and the diseconomies of congestion in commuter transport in a monocentric city.

Spatial equilibrium in the dispersed city
TL;DR: The standard model of residential land use in a city as treated by Mills (1973) assumes that all working and shopping opportunities are concentrated in the center of the city, the Central Business District (CBD) and that residential land is homogenous otherwise as mentioned in this paper.
