摘要

Pierre-Henri DERYCKE, Urban concentration and road systems : two approaches to congestion. Part II. Land values : an approach to congestion through the models of the "New Urban Economics". Part I of this article {FLUX 5, July-Sept. 1991) recalled the different forms of congestion in urban centers, then set forth two complementary approaches to urban congestion : from the point of view of traffic engineers, who concentrate on the value of time and the technical characteristics of itineraries (Part I), and that of urban land economists, who emphasize the aspect of profitability and the consequences of alternative usage of the land, and spatial equilibrium of agents (Part II, published here).
