【内容简介】

这本深入浅出的城市经济学教科书针对的是城市和区域政策领域以及主修经济学的本科生。书中既对汽车、公共交通、污染、住宅、教育这些城市经济学领域的常见问题进行了探讨，也对诸如种族分居、供水、排水、垃圾清理、火灾防救、居所法规、无家可归者、犯罪、违禁药物、城市经济发展等非常见问题进行了讨论。
 书中的分析主要采用了论述与代数、几何相结合的方法，作者向我们展示了不同的问题之间能够彼此互为立论，如公共交通问题能够为学校和土地的**收费问题提供一些解释，如此，本书得以浑然一体。对所有的问题，作者几乎都是透过帕累托和潜在帕累托**来加以审视，他关注政策如何影响人们和人们的福利，而非如何影响那些抽象的实体，如城市、经济、增长或者环境。这些传统的思考方式会带来一些尖锐的问题，例如：城市需要设立警察和消防部门吗？对房屋所有权的税收优惠是否该废止？公立学校需要收费吗？此外，作者在书中还认真考虑了一些非主流的政策，如汽车保险的加油附加保费、公交车的控制权、土地税、基于边际成本的供水定价以及人行道的分区等。以上种种无不增加了本书的趣味性。
