Political Overboundedness and the Urbanization of Rural Settlement Patterns.

Active / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA034612 |

Abstract:

Metropolitan political overboundedness influences the direction and rate of urban residential growth in Texas. In overbounded and non-overbounded cities, development was similar in the zone immediately adjacent to the built-up area of the city. In the more distant areas, however, the density of dwellings per square mile was significantly greater in overbounded city samples, contributing to a difference between city types in the process of residential development.
