Abstract

This paper examines the economics of urban consolidation, using a case study of an Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Better Cities project. The analysis identifies critical areas of such economic assessments, including land costs and third party costs such as resident dislocation and traffic congestion. The ACT leasehold system highlights an important distributional effect of urban consolidation. This study also exemplifies aspects of the Better Cities program and how city structure affects the economic viability of consolidation.
