merger with Urban economics

There doesn't appear to be consensus to merge these two articles, and the merger tag has sat since 2009, so I am closing the discussion. While I agree with Quiggin that this article does appear very essay-ish, and not all that encyclopedic, I also can't see how it can be merged into urban economics, either. WTF?

Although urbanomics gets plenty of Google hits, there's nothing to suggest it's more than a portmanteau version of urban economics. The content here is essayish, but maybe some of it would be useful inUrban economics.JQ (talk) 23:28, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

current title of the article is completely wrong: urban theory is a much broader concept, used in urban design and urban planning, than the limited meaning of city formation phenomenon where economic priorities prevail. Urbanomics was the appropriate title for this article. Elekhh (talk) 14:01, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
