Issues of Definition and Measurement for the Italian NUTS-2 Regions (2012, unknown): “However, increases in size of cities can also determine negative externalities, such as traffic congestion, rising prices, pollution and other adverse effects on economy, society and environment, which may offset the benefits of agglomeration (Capello and Camagni, 2000, p. 1485).”

• Malthus living in a slum: Urban concentration, infrastructures and economic growth (2017, unknown): “…functional characteristics of cities, beyond physical size, as further determinants of the benefits and costs form agglomeration (Richardson 1972; Capello and Camagni 2000; Royuela and 1 The UNFPA State of World Population 2011 estimates that there are 60 million new urban inhabitants every year…”
• The effect of urbanization on CO2 emissions in emerging economies (2014, unknown): “…facilitate economies of scale for public infrastructure (eg. public transportation, water supply, electricity production, schools, hospitals) and these economies of scale lead to lower environmental damages (Burton, 2000; Capello and Camagni, 2000; Jenks et al., 1996; Newman and Kenworthy, 1989).”
• Spatial Structure and Productivity in US Metropolitan Areas (2010, background): “Agglomeration disadvantages appear to be largely confined to the scale of individual cities within the metropolitan area (Parr, 2002) and evidence suggests that smaller cities have a greater endogenous capacity to keep these social, economic and environmental costs under control (Capello and Camagni”
