Urban Structure and Dynamics
• Why Urban Structure?– Primary distinguishing attribute of real estate is
its fixed location– Physical and economic environment affects real
estate value– The key to successful real estate investment is
understanding urban growth patterns

Urban Areas
• The Need for Urban Areas– Savings in costs of social interaction– Internal economies of scale– External economies of scale– Labor specialization– Consumer choice
• Note: Urbanization has its cost

Urban Growth Models• Concentric Circle theory: Ernest Burgess
– Explains urban growth in terms of distance from "downtown"
– Five concentric circles
• "downtown": most intensively used, offices, retail, govt.
• Transition Zone: low income units, night clubs, manufacturing, slums
• Zone of worker homes: multifamily units
• Zone of middle and high income families
• Commuter zones: suburbs, exurbs

Urban Growth Models
• Direction of Least Resistance: Richard Hurd– Direct take-off of concentric model– Key twist: transportation arteries– Commuting time from "downtown" matters not dis
tance from "downtown"– Also has five zones but not concentric – Developments follow transportation corridors– Some natural FEATURES act as barriers to growth

Urban Growth Models• Sector Theory: Homer Hoyt
– Explains how residential concentrations develop around "downtown"
– Income, cultural factors, tastes and preferences influence where people locate
– Rise of ethnic neighborhoods– In this model low income households locate ne
ar "downtown"

Urban Growth Models
• Multiple Nuclei Theory: Harris and Ullman– Preceding three models assume one "downtow
n"– This model assumes neighborhood clusters crea
te mini "downtown"s in addition to major "downtown"
– Mini "downtown"s caused "downtown" to lose its position as the sole focal point with urban area

Rent Theory• Principles of Rent Theory:
– Rent is payment to real estate– Land use activities locate according to comparative
advantage– Rent paying ability determines where land use locate– Hierarchy of land uses develops according to level of
rents or prices– First choice: office buildings, retail, apartments – Land use activities concentrate at "downtown" with
gradual decline in intensity and value away from "downtown"
![Page 9: URBAN STRUCTURE, RENT THEORY AND LOCATION. Urban Structure and Dynamics Why Urban Structure? –Primary distinguishing attribute of real estate is its fixed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ed05503460f94bddb48/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Model of Land Value or Rent• Urban land values (rent) and its tendency to
decline as one moves away from "downtown" can be explained in terms of savings in transportation cost
• Assumptions of model• City on a featureless plain
• production and distribution at "downtown"
• Homogeneous family
• Families live around "downtown"
• Cost of building and maintenance is constant
![Page 10: URBAN STRUCTURE, RENT THEORY AND LOCATION. Urban Structure and Dynamics Why Urban Structure? –Primary distinguishing attribute of real estate is its fixed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ed05503460f94bddb48/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Rent Theory
• Proposition:– Total housing cost = building cost + maintenance cost
+ site rent
• Site rent = rent paid for a site less what it will command in an agricultural use– Question: What is the opportunity cost of urban
site?– Site rent component is what causes land values
to vary with location

Rent Theory
• Site Rent Analysis using diagram– Proposition: Site Rent at any point on urban
landscape is equal to transportation at the edge of city less transportation cost at that point
• At E site rent = AB - AB = 0
• At O site rent = AB - 0 = AB
• At D site rent = AB - AF = BF

LOCATION ANALYSIS
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
The three most important factors in real estate analysis
![Page 15: URBAN STRUCTURE, RENT THEORY AND LOCATION. Urban Structure and Dynamics Why Urban Structure? –Primary distinguishing attribute of real estate is its fixed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ed05503460f94bddb48/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Meaning of Location
• Location: most important factor affecting real estate productivity and therefore value
• Approaches to location analysis– Transportation cost: weight gaining R.M. Haig– Accessibility/convenience: R. Ratcliff– Total Environment: R. Andrews
• Total environment in which a specific land use on a specific land parcel functions and interacts at a specific time
![Page 16: URBAN STRUCTURE, RENT THEORY AND LOCATION. Urban Structure and Dynamics Why Urban Structure? –Primary distinguishing attribute of real estate is its fixed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ed05503460f94bddb48/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Factors in Location Analysis
• Points to consider – Nature of relationship between the site and othe
r points on land scape– Convenience/inconvenience of moving from sit
e to other places– Possibility of unpleasant experience– Possibility of pleasant experience
![Page 17: URBAN STRUCTURE, RENT THEORY AND LOCATION. Urban Structure and Dynamics Why Urban Structure? –Primary distinguishing attribute of real estate is its fixed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ed05503460f94bddb48/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CONCEPTS OF LOCATIONS• Establishment:
– basic unit of land use: retail store, house ,church, apartment etc
• Packet of Function:– a land use serves a variety of functions
– Trace the packet of functions for a house
• Linkages:– relationships lead to movement and/or communication
• Cost of friction: time, stress and $ involved in communication or movement
![Page 18: URBAN STRUCTURE, RENT THEORY AND LOCATION. Urban Structure and Dynamics Why Urban Structure? –Primary distinguishing attribute of real estate is its fixed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ed05503460f94bddb48/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
TYPES OF LINKAGES
• Linked establishments locate near each other
• Types of linkages or relationships– Dominant use-ancillary use– Dominant use-subordinate use– Co-dominant uses & dominat use-satellite use
• Anchor tenants and sandwiched tenants
![Page 19: URBAN STRUCTURE, RENT THEORY AND LOCATION. Urban Structure and Dynamics Why Urban Structure? –Primary distinguishing attribute of real estate is its fixed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ed05503460f94bddb48/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Land uses locate in clusters: Why?
• Agglomeration economics: tendency of land uses to locate in clusters for mutual benefit
• External Economies: benefits from locating in clusters
• Localization economies - firms belonging to same industry
• Urbanization economies - firms belonging to different industries
![Page 20: URBAN STRUCTURE, RENT THEORY AND LOCATION. Urban Structure and Dynamics Why Urban Structure? –Primary distinguishing attribute of real estate is its fixed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ed05503460f94bddb48/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Detailed Factors in location analysis
• Transportation system: streets, sidewalks, bike lanes, mass transit, rail lines etc
• Utility systems: electricity, gas, cable, water, sewer, phone, cable TV
• Information technology: what ?
• Municipal services: police protection, fire protection, refuse collection, school system
![Page 21: URBAN STRUCTURE, RENT THEORY AND LOCATION. Urban Structure and Dynamics Why Urban Structure? –Primary distinguishing attribute of real estate is its fixed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649ed05503460f94bddb48/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Linkages/Location is Dynamic
• Changes in location needs– Changes in linked establishments: effects of TV and c
able TV– Changes in non-linked establishments: erection of lar
ge office building near subdivision– Changes in movement channels– Changes in nature of enterprise: family life cycle– Changes in technology: separability of functions, red
uce demand for office space

Fixed Location and Real Estate Market Characteristics
• Localized markets
• Heterogeneous product
• Diffused market分散的市場• Supply lag and demand lag
• Short selling is not possible: not fungible
• Private transaction
• Question: Are real estate markets efficient?
