Harvard's Ed Glaeser has written an important book about cities that has earned him a NY Times book review and an appearance on the Jon Stewart show. People are reading his book and debating his ideas. I have a stake in this because Glaeser is my friend, my University of Chicago classmate and we have published six articles together. He talks at length in the book about our joint work documenting that high density cities have a low carbon footprint.
As with any important book, there are critics who are countering some of his ponts. Here is an interesting post where the author pushes back against Glaeser's advocacy that cities such as New York City and Boston should reduce housing supply regulations and allow more residential skyscrapers to be built. Glaeser has argued that such cities raise local real estate prices by artificially limiting housing supply. Proponents of such zoning regulation argue that demand is high in such cities because the existing land regulation minimizes "ugly externalities". Glaeser's point is that there would be more "affordable housing" if it would be easier to build new housing in center cities. He points to Texas as a place that doesn't limit developers.
