Many Rust-Belt cities have seen almost half their populations move from inside the city borders to the surrounding suburbs and elsewhere since the 1970s. As populations shifted, neighborhoods changed—in their average income, educational profile, and housing prices. But the shift did not happen in every neighborhood at the same rate. Recent research has uncovered some of the patterns characterizing the process.

California is known for home values that eclipse U.S. housing prices. To increase housing inventory, California has implemented a regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) to transmit shares of housing growth to cities. However, no study has established RHNA’s efficacy. After examining the 4th RHNA cycle (i.e., 2006–2014) for 185 Los Angeles region cities, this study determined that RHNA directed housing growth to the city of Los Angeles and the region’s outlying cities as opposed to increasing density in the central and coastal cities. Second, RHNA directed 62% of housing growth to the region’s unaffordable cities. Third, the sample suffered a 34% shortfall in housing growth due to the Great Recession but garnered an average achievement of approximately 93% due to RHNA’s transmission of minimal housing growth shares. Lastly, RHNA maintained statistically significant associations with increased housing inventory, housing affordability, and housing growth rates, indicating that RHNA may influence housing development.

<p class="CorpoA">Os ambientes costeiros são considerados espaços estratégicos devido à diversidade de funções econômicas, sociais e ambientais.  Nesses espaços se desenvolvem múltiplos usos, por agentes que possuem os mais variados interesses, levando muitas vezes a conflitos de ordem socioambiental. Estratégias de gestão podem ser usadas para enfrentar tais problemas, especialmente através do envolvimento popular. A inserção das comunidades deve ocorrer desde o levantamento de informações até o processo de tomada de decisão. O presente trabalho objetiva coletar informações  socioambientais por meio do uso de questionários semi-estruturados, na comunidade de Macapá, município de Luis Correia, estado do Piauí. Os questionários foram aplicados nas residências da comunidade e respondidos por um representante familiar, perfazendo um total de 78 participantes. A partir das informações levantadas foi possível traçar o perfil socioeconômico da comunidade, avaliar a estrutura higiênico-sanitária e identificar potencialidades e limitações de uso. Assim, verificaram-se o baixo nível de escolaridade e renda média das famílias e as deficiências relacionadas ao abastecimento de água, esgotamento sanitário e coleta de resíduos. Além disso, foi possível identificar potencialidades que podem ser exploradas por atividades de ecoturismo, por exemplo, e limitações relacionadas à implantação de estruturas rígidas. As informações apuradas são úteis para o delineamento de políticas de gestão que compatibilizem o desenvolvimento econômico, a melhoria na qualidade de vida da população e a manutenção da qualidade das funções ambientais.</p><p class="CorpoA"><strong>Palavras–</strong><strong>chave</strong>: gestão costeira, políticas públicas, potencialidades e limitações de uso.</p><p class="CorpoA" align="center"> </p><p class="CorpoA"><strong>Abstract</strong><strong></strong></p><p class="CorpoA">Costal environments are considered strategic spaces due to the diversity of economic, social and environmental functions.

The present issue aims to collect socioenvironmental information with semi-structured questionnaires in the communitie of Macapá, in the city of Luis Corrêa, State of Piauí. The questionnaires were applied in the cities residences, answered by a family’s representative, making up 63 attendees. From the information gathered, it was possible to draw the socioeconomic profile of the community, to evaluate the hygienic and sanitary structure and identify potentialities and limitations of use. Thus, a low level of schooling and average income of families were verified, deficiencies in relation to water supply, sanitary sewage and waste collection.  Besides that, it was possible to identify potentialities that can be explored by ecotourism activities, for instance, besides the limitations related the implantation of rigid structures. The collected information are useful for the drawing of management policies that reconcile the economic development, the improvement of the life quality of the population and the quality keeping of the environmental functions.</p><p class="CorpoA"><strong>Keywords</strong>: coastal management, public policies, potentialities and limitation of use.</p>

Purpose Economic fundamentals are recognized as determining factors for housing on the city level, but the relationship between housing price and land supply has been disputed. This study aims to examine what kind of impact housing prices have on land supply and whether there is heterogeneity in different regional spaces. Design/methodology/approach This study collects the relevant data of land supply and housing prices in Nanchang from 2010 to 2018, constructs a vector autoregression (VAR) model, including one external factor and four internal factors of land supply to explore the dynamic effects and spatial heterogeneity of land supply on housing prices through regression analysis. Also, the authors use the geographic detector to analyze the spatial heterogeneity of housing prices in Nanchang. Findings This study found that the interaction between land supply and housing price is extremely complex because of the significant differences in the study area; the variables of land supply have both positive and negative effects on housing price, and the actual effect varies with the region; and residential land and GDP are the two major factors leading to the spatial heterogeneity in housing price. Research limitations/implications The dynamic effects of land supply on housing price are mainly reflected in the center and edge of the city, the new development area, and the old town, which is consistent with the spatial pattern of the double core, three circles and five groups in Nanchang. Originality/value This is a novel work to analyze the dynamic effects of land supply on house prices, instead of a single amount of land supply or land prices. Furthermore, the authors also explore the spatial heterogeneity according to the regional characteristics, which is conducive to targeted policymaking.

This paper extends first-best analysis of anti-sprawl policies, such as development taxes, and examines the welfare effects of development taxes in the presence of urban decline at the city core. We find that anti-sprawl policies generate several important feedbacks within the urban system, generating additional welfare gains and affecting the level of urban decline and suburban sprawl. Further, the optimal development tax exceeds the (first-best) Pigouvian level, irrespective of whether or not revenues are returned lump-sum to all landowners or earmarked for urban decline mitigation.

The city of Hawassa is growing fast, driven by construction of a flagship industrial park that is expected to attract up to 60,000 workers by 2021, mostly young women, arriving without families or dependents, and living off very low wages. Along with these young women, female-headed households; divorced, separated and widowed women; elderly women; and women with disabilities all face severe/acute shelter vulnerabilities. These groups are most likely to struggle to access both formal and informal shelter, related to their below-average income levels but also to other forms of bias and discrimination. This paper draws out key findings on gender and housing from a collaborative study investigating shelter provision in Hawassa, part of a wider research study on inclusive cities in East Africa led by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). It aims to highlight specific constraints faced by women in accessing shelter, and around such issues as informality, safety and security, and infrastructure provision.

Vacant land is a ubiquitous urban phenomenon. The existence of vacant land in a neighborhood can either lower or heighten nearby housing values, depending on its relative development potential. However, this condition has rarely been examined longitudinally, nor has it been examined thoroughly across different socioeconomic conditions. This research examines the impact of vacant lots on housing premiums using 2006–2015 single-family home sale transactions in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The study area was divided into low-, middle-, and high-income levels. The results show that vacant lands have negative impacts on nearby single-family houses and these impacts differ by income level per neighborhood. The study sheds light on how planners and researchers should conceive vacant lands differently in various surroundings and conditions.

In the last few decades, residency in some of the world’s desired destination cities has become a privilege, as housing supply has not kept pace with population growth. This has led to a significant rise in housing prices and consequently to the exclusion of middle- and low-income populations on a large scale. These developments have received only scant attention in political theory despite their prominence in local policymaking and their contribution to processes of redrawing the boundaries of inclusion into local political communities. My focus in this article is on the question ‘is it morally permissible for cities to sort members by economic means, and grant the better-off privileged access to residency?’ I explore this question by examining the main arguments used to support the city’s right to selectively admit would-be members. This allows me to delineate the limitations of the city’s general duty to be accessible to all segments of society and to present particular cases where the city has special obligations to incorporate nonmembers.
