• Abstract:
  Land-use regulations are a primary way in which state and local governments influence the urban landscape, affecting where people live, how much they commute and the impact they have on the environment. This research project examined two questions related to a specific way by which land use regulation in the U.S. affects individuals. First, do individuals spend more time commuting in locations with strict land use regulation, and second, does the correlation between land use regulation and commuting times vary with demographics? The research grant resulted in a working paper that was presented by one of the co-Principal Investigators at the peer-reviewed Humanitarian Technology: Science, System and Global Impact 2015 conference and published in a journal as part of the conference proceedings.
