Nonetheless, many governments constrain tall building construction, hindering urbanization and growth. Quantification for all cities worldwide using a canonical land use model disciplined with reduced form elasticity estimates indicates that eliminating existing height constraints would generate a global welfare gain of 6.4%. Aggregate land values would decline by 6.0%, incentivizing landowners to support height restrictions. Estimated elasticities of city population and built area with respect to aggregate city building heights are 0.13 and -0.16 in developing economies, reinforcing the quantitative evidence that tall buildings facilitate urban growth and compactness. Interactions between static demand factors and the geography of bedrock isolate 1975-2015 tall building construction driven by technology-induced reductions in the cost of height.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"about-the-speaker\"\n    >\nAbout the speaker<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.remijedwab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Remi Jedwab<\/a> is a Professor of Economics and International Affairs, Director of the Institute for International Economic Policy and co-Director of the Local Sustainable Governance Lab at the George Washington University in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"language\"\n    >\nLanguage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a free event.
