Island city formation and urban island studies

Area, 2015
Regional, national and global cities are disproportionately located on small islands and archipelagos. The ‘spatial turn’ within island and urban geography increasingly privileges abstract notions of space, yet the prevalence of big cities on small islands suggests that sensitivity to place‐specific spatial factors is necessary if we are to understand ...

Is ‘island study’ but a form of land study?

Town Planning Review
This article discusses the problem of island studies, predicated on the notion of ‘islandness’, as a field apart from land studies by showing that as a unit of recognition an island is only a highly specific kind of land. For every island its ‘islandness’ is unique, but only in the mode that all highly localised inhabited land is.
