Abstract
During the 1980s, northern New Jersey underwent a development surge that extended the metropolitan periphery and dramatically shifted employment across a larger and more dispersed set of locations throughout the region. This article explores the implications of this emerging settlement structure for employment accessibility from the region's center, the city of Newark. It appears that this accessibility has declined during the period. A range of policy responses to this decline are briefly outlined.
