Abstract

The dispersion of urban settlements continue to force local & regional governments to take measures to tackle the dispersion usually taking place on the expense of agricultural land and natural resources. The complexity of containing the development is especially high as it’s phenomena strongly associated to housing needs among many other, which makes urban containment subject to intense criticism due to creating higher residential demand on urban fringe resulting in uplifting effect on housing prices. Having acknowledged that lack of any attention to dynamics in development of containment policy might create such lateral effect undermining the overall efficiency of the policy, the paper compares two cases which are widely recognized as successful in their spatial outcomes and in their effect on the urban residential market. Outcomes signal a lack of consideration of complexity of housing as a commodity in most of the criticism directed to containment policies as the main reason of the rise in residential prices.
