Benchmarking polycentric urban development: determining the ‘balance’ between ‘urban centers’ KU Leuven
Three contributions to an evolving urban studies research agenda: world city networks, polycentric urban regions, and collaborations at the intersection of data and social sciences KU Leuven
In the context of ongoing ontological/epistemological/methodological debates on the nature of urban studies, this research program submitted as an integral part of the BOFZAP position in 'city science' consists of three main pillars: extensions to world city network research; research into polycentric urban regions; and research collaborations at the intersection of social science and data sciences.
An analysis of the mechanisms underlying the impact of polycentric spatial structure on the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations Ghent University
‘Urban polycentricity’ is a key concept in geographical research, although its meaning and benefits often remain unclear. This research will conduct empirical analyses on changes in polycentric structures in urban agglomerations across China. We will compare their degree of polycentricity, integration and dispersion, and apply spatial-econometric methods to explore
their relationships in explaining spatial differences in economic ...
