POSITIVE RENT GRADIENTS AND ACCESSIBILITY IN THE DISPERSED TWO-DIMENSIONAL CITY
Empirical studies are reviewed which suggest the existence of a positive rent gradient in urban areas which is contrary to theoretical urban models. In order to measure general accessibility to a dispersed activity, the concept of potential is developed for a continuous density function, the negative exponential, and assuming travel speed in an urban area increases with distance from the core. It is shown that this general accessibility can increase with distance from the core and thus provides a more plausible explanation of observed land value functions than have previous theories which concentrate on core accessibility, or distance to the core.
