Abstract

Using a new measure of urban sprawl, we evaluate the impact of urban sprawl on municipal expenditures of Italian municipalities in local public transport, roads and traffic management, and municipal technical offices for the year 2013. Our results suggest that urban sprawl leads to an increase in standard expenditure needs of Italian municipalities for all expenditure categories considered. The relationship between urban sprawl and expenditure is stronger for expenditures in road and traffic management.
