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 ...

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 ...
