Chapter 4Urban Land Values, Transportation Costs Impact and the Urban Form “Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner
Major Topics • How transportation costs and productivity affect land values in a city • Why and how a freely functional competitive land market will lead to land being used at its “highest and best use” • The impact of population growth, transport nodes and regulation on land values and density “Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner
Urban Form Physical spatial characteristics of a city • Size • Population density • Density variation in different parts Value A steep urban form with a central focus of intense land use and value A sprawled urban form with multiple focus points and more even land values. “Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner
Residual Nature of Land Value • Four basic “factors of production • Labor, capital and raw materials are “mobile” factors • Land is not “mobile” “Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner
Transportation Costs • A major reason for differences in land value from one location to another. • Transport costs are part of “mobile” costs, hence lower transport cost = higher land value • When the highest and best use of land wins the site the aggregate transportation costs are minimized for the market as whole “Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G. Miller and David M. Geltner

Multiple Nuclei Cities • Real world cities are not purely monocentric, they have other major activity areas (MACs) besides the CBD. • Large cities are sprinkled with neighborhood business districts (NBDs) that serve needs of local communities CBD where land value is highest Multiple clusters of economic centers Suburban retail and office cluster CBD NBD NBD NBD “Real Estate Principles for the New Economy”: Norman G.
