OK, that is too much so how does it basically work? Bid Rent refers to how the price and demand for real estate change as the distance from the central business district (CBD) increases. William Alonso (1960) px + rh = y0 + w(1-t-T) or equivalently px + rh + wT = y0 + w(1-t) Let U(x,h,T) be the utility function of a household where h is the amount of housing space used, T is the amount of leisure time and x is the consumption of other goods and services. OK, that is too much so how does it basically work?

von Thunen’s Agricultural land use model R = land rent; Y = yield per unit of land; c = production expenses per unit of commodity; p=market price per unit of commodity; F = freight rate (per agricultural unit, per mile); m=distance to market Colors indicate different crops PRICE market DISTANCE

When should a farmer begin growing the blue crop? Why? K1 refers to what? When should a farmer begin growing the blue crop? Why? When should a farmer begin growing the green crop? Why? Where does it make no sense (money) to grow any of these crops? When you see a k on graphics like this the first thing you should think is distance. Why?

Now apply this principle to urban morphology

Now examine places to see if the principle makes sense Isolated State Concentric Zone Model

So it boils down to best use Use of property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value Why do governments encourage best use policies? What land uses go together? What uses should always be kept apart? What is zoning? Which level of government generally assigns land use policies?

Is it based on distance-decay or space-time-compression? Which land use brings in the most money? Why is morphology and use different in Isolated State and Concentric Zone Model? How and why would cities use zoning? Give examples of best use.
