This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It … shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate … housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions from residential energy use. A numerical model is used to show that …
