The effects of land price in the peri-urban fringe of Mexico City: Environmental amenities for informal land parcel purchasers

Abstract: In many developing countries, urban growth is characterised by the emergence of informal housing at the periphery. Nevertheless, there is little evidence based on data from informal land markets and, in general, studies focusing on such markets often neglect environmental factors. Therefore, to contribute to these research gaps, this article aims to enhance our understanding of land markets in informal land parcels and their relationship to environmental amenities, by providing empirical evidence from Mexico C… Show more

In Brazil, informal land development has been an important driver of peripheral urbanisation since the second half of the 20th century, producing deeply segregated, poorly infrastructured, highly heterogeneous, and distant neighbourhoods (Caldeira, 2017).…”
