In this paper, we develop a simple theoretical framework to compute optimal urban-rail station spacing, first with a one- and then with a two-dimensional population density distribution. For small numbers of stations, numerical methods maximising total passenger-km give the optimal spacings, and...

The large research literature in urban labour market analysis is reviewed, with the emphasis ranging from attempts to model aggregate simultaneous interactions between residential and workplace location to more modern econometric work researching individual labour market behaviour. The job...
