Intra-Urban Location and Land Use

Kenneth Button

Chapter 3 in Urban Economics, 1976, pp 30-52 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Chapter 2 has been concerned with outlining the main reasons why firms and individuals congregate to form cities. We now turn to look at why, once the decision to locate in a city has been made, particular urban sites are chosen. This chapter is therefore concerned with intra-urban location theory and practice. Some firms are obviously restricted in their location choices by the availability of local resources; many local utilities fall into this category, as do extractive industries. We are less concerned with these firms and concentrate on those which have a fairly high degree of mobility and can choose between alternative sites.
