Abstract

A central question in the recently reemerged debate about regionalism and suburban sprawl asks: What are the costs and benefits to society at large when private firms take advantage of profitable expansion opportunities in the outer suburbs and thus leave vacant sites in older central cities? This study develops a consistent and comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of this contentious issue.
