Measuring the Comparability of Municipalities within a Metropolitan Area
The city of Brooklyn Park is a suburb of the city of Minneapolis. In the 1960's, Brooklyn Park installed a growth control system that restricted residential development from a large part of the city. Recently the question has been raised whether the growth control system had much effect on what subsequently happened in the city of Brooklyn Park. The paper outlines and applies several techniques for identifying the cities within the Minneapolis area that most closely resemble the city of Brooklyn Park in terms of growth history and structural measures. The presumption is that the comparison of Brooklyn Park with the other suburban cities that most closely resemble it provides a type of natural experiment in which many geographical and historical circumstances are held constant, so that the effects of the growth control system in Brooklyn Park can be measured and compared to the 'control' cities.
