Growth Policies and Community Status

Abstract

Logan argues that mobilization against growth and the establishment of growth controls are predicted by several social and economic characteristics of cities. A test of this model, examining the specific internal conditions that indirectly affect growth controls through local mobilization is offered, and a modification by arguing that past growth rates directly affect growth controls. Hypotheses are examined with city planning information and census data from Northern California municipalities. Mobilization against growth is associated with two measures of internal social characteristics: percentage white-collar residents and percentage owner-occupied housing units. Growth controls are predicted by mobilization against growth and, most strongly, by past growth rates. A partial revision of Logan's model is thus supported.
