Mismatch of morphological and functional polycentricity in Chinese cities: An evidence from land development and functional linkage

Land Use Policy, 2019
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

Using a new approach for revealing the spatiotemporal patterns of functional urban polycentricity: A case study in the Tokyo metropolitan area

Sustainable Cities and Society, 2020
Abstract This research designs a new approach by modifying the Fast-Newman algorithm for better implementing the process of detecting functional urban areas (FUAs) and further revealing the spatiotemporal patterns of functional urban polycentricity through 20 view-windows of each FUA in the Tokyo metropolitan area (TMA) by using geo-tagged big data ...

Form Follows Function? Linking Morphological and Functional Polycentricity

Urban Studies, 2011
Empirical 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 ...

Re-evaluating polycentric urban structure: A functional linkage perspective

Cities, 2020
Abstract Polycentric urban development has become the buzzword among urban scholars, decision-makers, and planners around the world. From the existing polycentric urban research, a functional approach is increasingly concerned by scholars except for morphological terms.

Defining Functional Polycentricity From a Geographical Perspective

Geographical Analysis, 2019
Despite 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.

Density pattern of functional facilities and its responses to urban development, especially in polycentric cities

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.

Functional Polycentricity: A Formal Definition in Terms of Social Network Analysis

Urban Studies, 2007
Polycentricity 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.

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.
