本文考虑了一些关键问题，有助于评估推广紧凑型城市是否是一个值得的规划目标。它们是：对优质农业用地的压力；居住密度偏好；节约能源；扩大公共交通使用和促进以公共交通为导向的发展的潜力；郊区化的成本与收益；紧凑提高效率；电信对发展密度的影响；市中心的前景；寻租对市区项目推广的影响紧凑的社会公平；以及城市间竞争的影响。我们对这些问题的评估并不支持推广紧凑型城市。
This paper considers some key issues that help to evaluate whether or not the promotion of compact cities is a worthwhile planning goal. These are: the pressures on prime agricultural land; residential density preferences; energy resource savings; the potential for expanding transit use and promoting TODs (transit-oriented developments); the costs and benefits of suburbanization; the efficiency gains from compactness; the impact of telecommunications on the density of development; the prospects for downtowns; the influence of rent-seeking on the promotion of downtown projects; the social equity of compactness; and the effects of competition among cities. Our evaluation of these issues does not support the case for promoting compact cities.
