Abstract: This paper challenges the idea that city-size control strategies can be used to correct for interpersonal inequities. Doubts about the effectiveness of these strategies do not imply a commitment to unbridled economic growth. Neither input-output analysis nor national accounting systems is a suitable technique for evaluating Professor Johnston's ‘welfare/illfare’ model. Population-distribution policies are not the most efficient means of combatting negative externalities.
