    Extractions: Suburbs now contain the majority of office space in many of the country's top metropolitan office markets, according to this survey. Before 1980, central cities dominated the office market, but over the last two decades, office space has become much more dispersed. A new urban form, an "edgeless city," is emerging. Key Findings An analysis of the location of office space in 13 of the nation?s largest metropolitan commercial real estate markets between 1979 and 1999 found that: tween 1979 and 1999, cities' share of metropolitan office space significantly diminished. 1979, 74 percent of office space was found in central cities and only 26 percent was found in sub-urbs. By 1999, the central city share of office space dropped to 58 percent while the suburban share grew to 42 percent. tribution of urban and suburban office space varies greatly among metropolitan areas.

    Extractions: Join Together, Boston University School of Public Health Note: Subscriptions to the FAS Drug Policy Analysis Bulletin may be requested by sending email to fas@fas.org , please be sure to reference the publication title More than 20 states have enacted special penalties for drug violations near schools, parks and other areas where children congregate. This legislation resonates powerfully with the concerns all parents have for their children, and has enormous political appeal. Unfortunately, most legislatures have given little thought to the problem of how best to design this kind of legislation to protect children. Results from our study suggest that the Massachusetts version of such a statute has not been successful in moving drug-dealing away from schools. The common denominator of these statutes is the enhancement of penalties for drug dealing based on geography. The physical layout of cities and towns in the state and the geographic patterns of drug dealing thus become important factors in determining the impact of the statute. Legislators have made gut judgments about how far they would like to see drug dealing retreat from places frequented by young people, but have rarely, if ever, benefited from data about the physical layout or distribution of dealing in their communities. In our recent Massachusetts study, we used a combination of aerial photography, municipal geographic information systems, commercial street mapping data and hand-held geographic positioning system (GPS) measurements to plot schools, parks and drug dealing incidents in three cities in Massachusetts. The research team started with case files from the local District Attorneys' offices. Based on the police reports in those files, the research team visited more than 400 drug- dealing locations and walked school boundaries with a handheld GPS. We triangulated between that field data and the other available electronic data to derive accurate maps of school zones and drug dealing locations.
