We study the relationship between cultural heritage and city structure in a residential sorting model. Contrary to previous research, we find that all income groups attach a large value to the proximity of urban heritage while there are important differences associated with other household characteristics. In line with previous research, we find that all households attach value to the share of high-income households in neighborhoods. Our approach covers both elements and we use the estimated version to investigate the overall impact of cultural heritage on within-city structure. We simulate the housing market equilibrium in a counterfactual situation without spatial differences in the presence of cultural heritage. The results suggest that without highly valued inner city amenities, households’ location choice in European cities, such as Amsterdam, would be much more similar to US cities.

我们在住宅分类模型中研究文化遗产与城市结构之间的关系。与之前的研究相反，我们发现所有收入群体都非常重视城市遗产的邻近性，而与其他家庭特征相关的重要差异。与之前的研究一致，我们发现所有家庭都重视社区中高收入家庭的份额。我们的方法涵盖了这两个要素，我们使用估计版本来调查文化遗产对城市内部结构的整体影响。我们在一个反事实的情况下模拟了住房市场均衡，而没有存在文化遗产的空间差异。结果表明，如果没有高度重视的内城便利设施，家庭在阿姆斯特丹等欧洲城市的位置选择，
