[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there an end point? Any research around the ideal number of people living "in the city"? Seems a little sci fi to me...[/quote] The short answer is that yes, the theoretical literature on city structure considers this. If you're interested, you can find some citations in my long post a couple of pages back. Backing out a precise answer (e.g. "the ideal population of the DC metro region is X") would require additional assumptions beyond what these published papers make, and it's hard to pin down precisely what those assumed values should be (hence people don't publish such calculations). But, the structure exists to do them.[/quote]
