New Publication on Urban-rural Linkages in Local Spatial Plans

Theresia Morandell, Michael Wicki, and David Kaufmann recently published a new article in Landscape and Urban Planning. The article examines to what extent and how urban-rural linkages feature in spatial plans adopted by city administrations. They find that both physical and functional interdependencies between core cities and their surrounding municipalities within the so-called city-region are addressed.

New Publication on the Effects of Upzoning

Elena Lutz and Simon Büchler have published a paper in the Journal of Urban Economics. The paper investigates the effects of upzoning in the Canton of Zurich. The results show that upzoning is successful in increasing the densification of the built environment. However, the effects are heterogeneous, with upzoning creating more housing more quickly when applied to areas with high housing demand and when the increase in allowed density is relatively large.
