Optimization of subdivision development
Tóm tắt
Optimal lot size and configuration are determined by the maximization of profit per unit of land area. Lot value is assumed to be a Cobb-Douglas function of frontage and depth. The cost of developing a lot is assumed to be related to lot area, frontage, and a fixed cost parameter. The forms of the value function, the cost function, and the objective function are rationalized. The impacts of changes in the value and cost function parameters on optimal frontage, depth, frontage to depth ratio, and lot area are investigated.
