Land Use and the Monocentric City Chapter 8 The Monocentric City Typical city of the 19th Century. It has a heavy concentration of employment in the central core area Key feature is a heavy concentration of employment in the central core area. Why study the Monocentric City: Historical Perspective Small and Medium are Monocentric cities Understand the transition to the modern city Many lessons of MC can be expanded to modern cities Characteristics of the Monocentric City Intercity Transportation→ Central Export Node. A port, or railway station is located at the center of the city. From there the city firms send their production of good x to other cities (Train). Intra-City Transportation. Manufacturing firms transport their output a distance u from the plant to the export node, at a cost of per mile (Horse-drawn wagons). Workers Commuting Costs. Workers live outside the central district and commute to their place of work (street car). Agglomeration Economies. Office industry relies on face-to-face interactions. The Bid-Rent Function The Bid-Rent Function: The Bid-Rent is the hypothetical price that the firm or household would pay for a piece of land for a given level of profits or utility. The difference between Bid-Rent Function and Land Rent is that Land-Rent is derived from the market price and it is observed, while Bid-Rent function is not observed. Strategy of today’s class: Calculate the bid-rent function of: Manufacturing Firms (Produce a good x) Office Firms (Produces F consultations) They gather, process and distribute information. They rely on face to face contact to provide their services. Households (Commute to work in central city) Each of these agents will locate where thay are willing to pay the highest rent. The Bid Rent Function of Manufacturing Firms Fixed Factors of Production. Each firm uses one acre of land and dollars of non-land inputs, to produce x units of output per time period. Output price Px is fixed. Competitive Markets, No entry
