The Spatial Structure of Crime in Urban Environments

2015
It is undoubtedly clich´e to say that we are in the Age of Big Data Analytics or Data Science; every computing and IT publication you find talks about Big Data and companies no longer are interested in software engineers and analysts but instead they are looking for Data Scientists!

Urban interactions and spatial structure

Journal of Economic Geography, 2007
This article specifies and solves a model of endogenous spatial interactions where agents choose to visit a particular location to interact with others. Equilibrium fails to achieve first-best levels of visits and population density. A construction subsidy can restore second-best efficiency, but not first-best because it does not operate on the visit ...

Urbanization, Migration, and Vietnam’s Spatial Structure

Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia, 1996
In North Vietnam during the war years from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s cities were evacuated to minimize damage from bombing. As such the urbanization process was checked. In the South however urban areas grew rapidly as people fled the fighting in the villages. Reunification of the country led to an outflow of residents from the largest southern

Recent Trends in Urban Spatial Structure

Growth and Change, 1980
Results of an investigation of the existence and significance of employment concentrations outside the central business districts of large metropolitan areas are presented. Trends in the intrametropolitan location of employment during te 1960s and early 1970s are examined by using small-area data for two points in time.

Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, 2013
AbstractPeople learn the layout of cities mainly through a series of trips. Wayfinders experience the city structure di fferentlydepending on the mode of transport they use. The acquired mental representation then consists of the directly ob-served, physically accessible parts of the city.

The last four decades have brought fundamental changes in Hungarian urbanization. The number of towns has increased from 54 to 166 and the number of settlements with a population over 100 000 has grown from 3 to 8, and the number of small towns with a population just over 30 000 has increased four times compared to the situation at the beginning of the

Spatial Structure and Urban Growth

1988
The ability of activities to compete for sites depends upon whether they have the means to benefit from accessibility and complementarity within the urban framework. But economic conditions, population, other land uses both public and private, and the size of the urban area continually change subjecting the urban land market to forces of perpetual ...

Urban Spatial Structure

1979
A great deal of urban economics is not geographical; it is concerned with the production and allocation of urban ‘goods’, such as housing, without being primarily concerned with their location. But some of the most acute problems of cities are concentrated in particular areas or are linked with the location of residences and workplaces.

Urban Spatial Structure and Travel in China

Journal of Planning Literature, 2019
This article first provides a critical scoping review of empirical literature on the relationship between urban structure and travel in China. The review finds that residential suburbanization alone increases travel, polycentric development has mixed effects, and jobs–housing balance reduces travel. Second, this article compares the empirical findings

Urban Spatial Structure in a Transitional Economy

Journal of the American Planning Association, 1999
Abstract The urban spatial structure of Chinese cities has been changing since the post-Mao economic reform in 1978. More dramatic changes have occurred since the housing reform in 1982 and land reform in 1987. This article examines the transformation of urban spatial structure in China in the context of a transitional economy and its underlying ...
