Form Follows Function? Linking Morphological and Functional Polycentricity
Urban Studies, 2011Empirical research establishing the costs and benefits that can be associated with polycentric urban systems is often called for but rather thin on the ground. In part, this is due to the persistence of what appear to be two analytically distinct approaches in understanding and measuring polycentricity: a morphological approach centring on nodal ...

Defining Functional Polycentricity From a Geographical Perspective
Geographical Analysis, 2019Despite the prevalence of polycentricity as a normative strategy in planning documents, a lengthy and inconclusive debate regarding its definition in academic research persists. The aim of this article is to eliminate the conceptual confusion surrounding functional polycentricity from a geographical perspective.

Sustainable Cities and Society, 2022
Abstract With the increasing demand for facilities services, revealing the spatial pattern of various facilities with different functions (i.e., functional facility) and the driving role of urban attributes are crucial to improve the spatial equity of facilities, but still little is known.

Abstract The polycentric urban structure is regarded to be more rational than the monocentric structure in recent urban studies. However, challenges have emerged in the implementation of the polycentric strategy accompanying with rapid urbanization in developing countries. The concept of polycentricity need to be re-examined in the developing context

Functional Polycentricity: A Formal Definition in Terms of Social Network Analysis
Urban Studies, 2007Polycentricity is often used descriptively with regard to a regional system of settlements, usually referred to as a polycentric urban region (PUR). Although presented in much of the literature as in essence a morphological concept, polycentricity possesses a functional element that receives less attention.

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, 2018
The polycentricity of urban regions has been an important theme in the study of urban systems. To fill in the blank of longitudinal and comparative studies, this paper uses the interlocking network model to measure the polycentricity of Chinese urban regions and subsequently examines their changes based on the location information of advance producer ...

Spatial Integration and Functional Balance in Polycentric Urban Systems: A Multi‐Scalar Approach
Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, 2013AbstractResearch on polycentricity has focused increasingly on the multi‐scalar functional organisation of polycentric urban systems. These studies have shown that the degree of functional polycentricity varies considerably across different spatial scales.

Urban Studies, 2012
A shift from monocentric cities to increasingly polycentric urban regions has been widely recognised in recent research literature. Although polycentricity in general refers to the existence of several adjacent centres within the same area, many studies have emphasised that functional linkages between the centres of an urban system are also an ...

Polycentric Functional Structures Across EU Borders: A Transport Perspective
2019Towns and cities interact increasingly in polycentric systems, notably in Europe, due to the specific features of its urban network, as well as the common policies aimed at preserving and enhancing the territorial cohesion in the European Union.
