寻求重新规划城市工业用地的政策制定者经常提到需要吸引或保留非工业或高科技企业,否则这些企业将位于边远地区或其他地区。然而,工业用地仍可能在21世纪的经济中发挥重要作用。本文介绍了工业区土地如何塑造四个旧金山弗朗西斯科湾区城市的业务搬迁和扩张的动态。该分析结合了两个独特的数据集(国家建立时间序列和历史分区地图),并使用多变量分析来研究分区在公司扩张中的作用,控制公司特征,行业,建筑特征和位置。公司规模起着最重要的作用,但工业区土地和大型建筑的可用性也有助于公司扩张。文章最后概述了土地利用和经济发展战略,帮助城市的目标企业创造就业机会的工业用地。
Policy makers seeking to rezone urban industrial land often cite the need to attract or retain non-industrial or high-tech businesses that would otherwise locate in outlying areas or other regions. Yet industrial land may still play an important role in the 21st-century economy. This article describes how industrially-zoned land shapes the dynamics of business relocation and expansion in four San Francisco Bay Area cities. The analysis combines two unique data sets (the National Establishment Time Series and historic zoning maps) and uses multivariate analysis to examine the role of zoning in firm expansion, controlling for firm characteristics, industry, building characteristics, and location. Firm size plays the most important role, but the availability of industrially-zoned land and large buildings also helps firms to expand. The article concludes by outlining land use and economic development strategies that help cities target firms creating jobs on industrial land.
