Urban expansion - Urban shrinking considerations on Braşov agglomeration urban dynamics [PDF]

HUMAN GEOGRAPHIES – Journal of Studies and Research in Human Geography, 2012
The study of the vision of spatial development at different scales can often suggest different solutions, due to the different priorities imposed by the distinct territorial governance levels. In this respect, it can be useful to point out the meanings of the terms like urban growth, urbanisation, urban expansion or urban sprawl and their relevance for

A Novel Approach to Regionalize Country‐Level GDP Projections

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Socioeconomic projections are policy support tools that are often limited to country‐level data, making them insufficient for policy areas that require a more nuanced, sub‐national perspective. For granular geographical analyses in a multicountry setting, international organizations often rely on straightforward regionalization techniques ...
