With population growth and expansion of economic activities, and
the change in location preference towards suburban and rural
locations, urban areas have sprawled. In many places, such
expansions resulted in irreversible loss of agricultural lands.
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the links between
regional growth and land use change in the Northeastern United
States. The analysis integrates regional growth theory and spatial
econometric modeling to develop recommendations for effective land
use policies. A unique aspect of this book is that it identifies
the spatial effects of urbanized locations and other local
characteristics on agricultural land development that enable policy
makers and leaders to design and implement economic development
programs that balance land use impacts. The book recommends
regional land policy coordination and land impact assessment in
state economic development programs. Its rich insights make the
book a useful resource and standard reference for economists,
development scholars, policy analysts, and consultants. This book
can also serve as an important educational resource for schools and
libraries.
