| Summary: | [EN] The urbanization process developed of recent decades has supposed a change of paradigm in the urban model of the Valencian Community, happening from a model traditionally compact to other typical of the dispersed city, generating important environmental, social and economic effects. The study of urban sprawl undoubtedly has a long tradition, especially in the United States. However, a clear and unambiguous measure of the urban dispersion does not exist and it is not easy to quantify the economic effects of urban sprawl on the current public expenditure, less so in the case of the Valencian Community. In the current economic context, the impact of urban sprawl on local public finances is one of the key factors in the decisions of local councils in urban planning. In fact, this research demonstrates that urban sprawl generates a higher unit cost of local public services, which produces a model of inefficient development from the economic perspective. Firstly we proposed a measurement of urban sprawl using GIS techniques, allowing the characterization of the resulting urban model of Valencia at the municipal level. Secondly, we used a statistical model with data from budget areas of the municipalities to quantify the effect of urban sprawl on the Local Government expenditure variables, especially those which refer to current expenditure related to the municipal basic public services. Finally, we obtained a set of cost functions that we applied to the case of the municipalities in the Valencian Community in order to evaluate the economic effects of urban sprawl on the budget variables involved in the current expenditure of the Municipality, thus proposing a tool allowing to assess the impact of the different alternatives of growth of urban planning. |
