• Why do the poor live in cities? The role of public transportation ✩ (2008, background): “Thus, there is a sense in which the monocentric model is relevant for a diminishing number of American cities (Mieszkowski and Smith [27], Giuliano and Small [14], Glaeser and Kahn [16], [17]).”
• The Mechanisms of Spatial Mismatch (2007, neutral): “9 It should be kept in mind, however, that these features are average trends and that American cities present a wide range of configurations (see Pugh, 1998; or Glaeser and Kahn, 2001, for city categorisations).”
• Urban Resurgence and the Consumer City (2006, neutral): “The decentralization of employment within metropolitan areas continued unabated during the 1990s as citizens chose to live in the suburbs and central city land became more expensive (Glaeser and Kahn, 2001).”
