Revisiting the Sitcom Suburbs
Dolores Hayden
March 2001, English
The largest of the post-World War II suburbs were the size of cities, with populations between 50,000 and 80,000, but they looked like overgrown subdivisions. In Levittown, Lakewood and Park Forest, model houses on curving streets held families similar in age, race and income whose suburban lifestyles were reflected in the nationally popular television sitcoms […]

European Property Taxation

The study of property taxation in Europe offers special challenges because each country has a different definition of land and property, and a different approach to local property taxation. The term property often includes both land and buildings, but may also include plants and machinery as well as certain possessions, such as automobiles. In Denmark, […]

Urban Sprawl and Land Regulation in Latin America
Mario Lungo
March 2001, English
Urban sprawl has generated many studies, discussions and policies in the United States, but in Latin America the expansion of large cities has received relatively little attention, even though very large and rapidly growing cities are a widely recognized characteristic of the region. Several reasons may explain this disparity: the belated urbanization process in most […]

Farming Inside Cities
Jerry Kaufman and Martin Bailkey
January 2001, English
When people think of growing food in the United States, the images that come to mind are vast stretches of vegetable and fruit tree farms in California’s Central Valley, golden fields of wheat in the Plains states, and cows grazing on verdant rural landscapes in the Midwest and New England. Rarely is the image one […]

Dysfunctional Residential Land Markets
Colonias in Texas
January 2001, English
Low-income, self-managed homestead subdivisions, called colonias in Texas, are a rapidly expanding form of land and housing production in the United States. In a recently completed Lincoln Institute-supported study, I have analyzed the dysfunctional aspects of these land markets as measured by a high level of absentee lot ownership, modest lot and property transactions and […]
