Optimal Reorganization of Greater Tokyo: An Industrial Complex of Agglomeration and Scale Economies. 1

Yoshiro Higano, Hideki Kohno

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

An analytical method for evaluating the optimal reorganization of Greater Tokyo is presented and its properties are examined. The model used is a large-scale nonlinear programming model. The essential advantages and disadvantages of production concentration are simultaneously optimized in accordance with the synthesized dynamic opportunity-cost criterion. We especially emphasize the net scale and agglomeration economies of the large city, taking account of the causal relation among the acceleration and retardation factors of those economies.
