Abstract

When discussing land speculation, rising land values, and their effect on housing costs and urban space organization, reference is typically made to large cities. The question arises whether existing discourse on large cities is reproducible in the analysis of land in small urban centers, or whether these small centers present particularities based on their regional location, history, and present or future economic potential. Theoretically, rising land values and the extent of real estate speculation depend on city size and population growth rate. Reliance on population parameters has become so evident that it obscures other equally important factors in shaping urban space and land markets. Urban space structuring and land markets are determined by demographic evolution as much as by past land structure and present legal and economic aspects.
