The Urban Hierarchy and Urban Area Production Function: A Synthesis
Urban Studies, 1977Urban production functions, often used to indicate optimal city size, usually deal with one city in isolation. This paper introduces differing production and transport costs and demand intensities in order to generate an urban hierarchy of differing urban sizes and market areas.

Classification of the Functions of Urban Area Based on Deep Learning
Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Information Technologies and Electrical Engineering, 2019Classification of the Functions of Urban Area is of great significance to urban construction and refined management. High-resolution remote sensing images are widely used in urban area functional classification, and urban area functions are closely related to human activities. Therefore, in the urban area functional classification model, the effects of

Changes in Fertility and Mortality in Functional Urban Areas
2019This chapter presents the natural population change in FUAs in the years 1990–2016. In particular, changes in the number of births, deaths, marriages, divorces as well as total natural increase will be investigated in FUAs and other Polish municipalities and according to the size of FUAs.

Impact of urbanization on vegetation functional diversity across typical urban areas in China
Journal of Environmental ManagementVegetation diversity in urban areas is crucial for maintaining urban ecological security. Rapid urbanization significantly affects vegetation diversity. However, the absence of effective regional-scale monitoring methods makes quantitative assessments challenging.

The Population Ageing Process in Functional Urban Areas
2019The chapter will analyse the ageing of the population at the various hierarchical levels of FUAs. The research aims to determine the impact of demographic potential and the size of FUAs on the pace of population ageing in both the core and the external zones. This chapter also explores the impact of suburbanisation processes on differences in the speed

The ecology of urban areas and their functions for species diversity
Landscape and Ecological Engineering, 2011Despite the appearance of an enormous number of publications about urban ecology and species diversity, many issues are simply opened up rather than explained. The ecological complexity of urban areas, i.e., the variety of determinants and the spatial and temporal dynamic of cities, preclude simple starting points and lines of explanation.

Functional Balance of New Urban Area Planning
2015A city is a relatively large society, which has a complex synthesis and encompassing system for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. Both comprehensive and specific new urban areas should be planned based on this fact.

Creation of functional ground models in an urban area
Geological Society, London, Engineering Geology Special Publications, 2001Rationale The ability to see the ground surface in an urban environment is limited by access and the amount of natural ground exposure. This is typically less than 10% by area. The assessment of the probable ground structure and the behaviour of critical ground elements can be achieved by comparison with non-urban ...
