Abstract: Abstract A great deal of urban economics is not geographical; it is concerned with the production and allocation of urban ‘goods’, such as housing, without being primarily concerned with their location. But some of the most acute problems of cities are concentrated in particular areas or are linked with the location of residences and workplaces. A study of urban spatial structure is therefore a necessary background to the examination of certain aspects of public policy. This is a field which overlaps with urban geography, and much of the best recent work has been done by geographers, although the founding fathers of the subject were a sociologist and two practising land valuers.
