TLDR
The distribution of population and employment in metropolitan Los Angeles in 1970 and 1980 is examined in this article, where the geographical distribution of employment combined job clustering around a few major employment centers with a high degree of general job dispersion.Abstract:
The distribution of population and employment in metropolitan Los Angeles in 1970 and 1980 is examined in this paper. Population continued to disperse in the 1970s, whereas the geographical distribution of employment combined job clustering around a few major employment centers with a high degree of general job dispersion. In Los Angeles polycentrism has been associated with shorter work trips, particularly intracounty trips in the more peripheral counties.read more

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.

Is Los Angeles-Style Sprawl Desirable?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the literature on characteristics, causes, and costs of alternative development patterns and debunks arguments by Gordon and Richardson in favor of Los Angeles-style sprawl.

The Effects of Urban Patterns on Ecosystem Function
TL;DR: In this article, urban ecological systems are characterized by complex interactions among social, economic, institutional, and environmental variables, and these interactions generate complex human-dominated landscapes, which are then exploited to create complex humandominated landscapes.

Subcenters in the los angeles region
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate employment subcenters in the Los Angeles region using 1980 Census journey-to-work data and find a surprising dominance of downtown Los Angeles and three large sub-centers with which it forms a nearly contiguous corridor.

Quantifying Urban Form: Compactness versus 'Sprawl'
TL;DR: The authors developed a set of quantitative variables to characterise urban forms at the metropolitan level and distinguish compactness from'sprawl' and developed a global Moran coefficient, which characterises the fourth dimension of urban form.

Multiple equilibria and structural transition of non-monocentric urban configurations☆
Masahisa Fujita,Hideaki Ogawa +1 more
TL;DR: 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.

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.

Modelling urban population density in a multi-centered city.
TL;DR: This paper explores additional sources of bias overlooked in this controversy regarding whether or not calibrations of these models render unbiased parameter estimates, from both a conceptual and an empirical point of view.

Efficient Resource Allocation in a Multinucleated City with Intermediate Goods
TL;DR: In this article, the dual problem and producer and consumer equilibrium are discussed. And a numerical example is given for the resource allocation problem in the transportation sector and land constraints in the United States.
