  1. The application of classical liberalism to urban policy.
    • 2016 August 2, Noah Smith, “San Francisco Progressives Declare War on Affordable Housing”, in Bloomberg Opinion[1]:
      One proposed solution is to deregulate housing and encourage denser development. This is called the “market urbanism” approach, because it relies on deregulation -- though it would also certainly require big government investments in mass transit.
    • 2020 February 28, Zach Weissmueller, “Density or Sprawl? How To Solve the Urban Housing Crisis”, in Reason[2]:
      "The government control of land use and zoning has caused housing to be unaffordable," says Beyer. "And I think that market urbanism is a way to reverse those trends."
