SOCIAL COSTS AND BENEFITS OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Emphasis has recently been shifting from allocational or pareto efficiency - the traditional approach to the assessment of urban development - to distributional efficiency and social indicators. These alternative approaches to assessment take account of both measurement and policy problems. Particular attention is given to six strategies for coping with measurement problems.
