| dc.description.abstract | The monocentric urban model gives emphasis to the important link between transportation access and urban form. Yet of late metropolitan areas have become increasingly multicentric, the monocentric model has been scrutinized on various grounds. This paper attempts to probe the important assumption used in many monocentric models -- particularly that employment location is exogenous to population location within an urban area. Working with data on population and employment changes in the seventeen municipalities/ cities of Metro Manila, this work shows that employment changes are endogenous to the population change in a surrounding labor market. This recommends that urban models should focus more on the problem of employment location within metropolitan areas. | |
