Spatial Development Pattern and Urban Growth in China——An Analysis Based on the Geometric Shape
Urban geometry plays an important role in the growth of urban population and economy.We systematically identify the effects of urban geometry on urban population,wages,housing prices and economic efficiency,and analyzes the internal mechanism.The loose urban spatial form is found to restrain the growth of population,wages and housing prices,and hinder the economic development of the city.Further examination of the mechanism shows that loose urban form impedes growth by reducing residents'willingness to stay,internal accessibility,modern infrastructure provision,environmental quality,and ag-glomeration economy.
