Traffic Congestion and Land Use Regulations: Theory and Policy Analysis explores why, when, where and how land use regulations are utilized in cities to address road transportation congestion. The book shows how to design optimal density and zonal regulations for efficient traffic flow in cities, examines land use regulations using optimal control theory, and offers detailed insights into the mechanisms behind optimal regulations and techniques for exploring spatial optimal policies. Discussions from this book will help highlight the practical usefulness of land use regulations for the maximization of urban social welfare. - Uniquely explores land use regulations and traffic congestion from both theoretical and applied perspectives - Reviews and summarizes the most recent academic research in urban economics, land use management and transportation congestion - Demonstrates important, but less commonly used regulations, such as minimum floor area regulations - Provides insights on how to construct smarter cities using the latest research in land use regulations
