Functional Polycentrism and Urban Network Development in the Greater South East, United Kingdom: Evidence from Commuting Patterns, 1981–2001 [PDF]

Regional Studies, 2010
In contemporary literature on changing urban systems, it is often argued that the traditional central place conceptualisation is outdated and should be replaced by a network view that emphasises the increasing criss-crossing pattern of interdependencies between spatial units.

Functional Polycentrism in Portugal: an evaluation [PDF]

, 2011
This paper aims at develop an evaluation of the functional polycentrism of Portuguese municipalities. For that purpose, we develop a critical assessment of the concept of polycentrism and functional polycentrism whose assumptions guide most of the policies of regional planning, and present the main methodologies for its evaluation. We then proceed with

Spatial Integration and Functional Balance in Polycentric Urban Systems: A Multi‐Scalar Approach

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, 2013
AbstractResearch 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.

Do polycentric urban regions promote functional spillovers and economic performance? Evidence from China

Regional Studies, 2020
Although the literature often suggests that the economic prowess of ‘polycentric urban regions’ partly results from the ability of their constituent cities to promote functional spillovers through ...

Polycentric Functional Structures Across EU Borders: A Transport Perspective

2019
Towns 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.

Measuring functional polycentricity of China's urban regions based on the interlocking network model, 2006–15

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 ...

Policy Challenges of Functional Polycentricity in a Global Mega-City Region: South East England

Built Environment, 2006
This article explains the background to the investigation of MCR processes in South East England and the North West Europe POLYNET study. It reports on the policy challenges for the South East England MCR, revealed by transnational analysis. London - considered a monocentric spatial form in European policy - has emerged as the most functionally ...

Functional Polycentricity: Examining Metropolitan Spatial Structure through the Connectivity of Urban Sub-centres

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 ...
