Spatio-temporal evolution and influencing factors of the e-sports industry in China
The emergence and development of new industry play a key role in regional development and economic growth. This study explores the e-sports industry evolution, a typical cross-sector new industry, through a theoretical lens of the evolutionary economic geography (EEG) based on Chinese e-sports industry enterprise data between 1998–2018 and examines the influencing factor by multivariate regression. Results show e-sports industry development is a …
How does external environment impact emerging industrial development: An evolutionary development approach of the e‐sports industry in China
To increase the understanding of how the external environment impact the local industrial development, this study builds a conceptual framework of industrial evolutionary development by integrating evolutionary and developmental theories from the perspective of evolutionary economic geography. This study emphasised the combination of two mechanisms. The first evolutionary mechanism consisting of variation, selection and retention, and the diversi…

Friction or cooperation? Boosting the global economy and fighting climate change in the post-pandemic era
In the post-COVID-19 pandemic era, the world faces a choice between trade protection and cooperation. However, current literature provides very little information on the benefit or loss of trade friction or cooperation on global economy and climate mitigation. This study applied the Global Trade Analysis Project model to assess the impacts of trade friction on global economic recovery and climate change. The results indicated that international t…
Human capital space: A spatial perspective of the dynamics of people and economic relationships
While researchers increasingly recognise drastic changes in populations and repeatedly emphasise their implications for development, far less attention is devoted to thinking of and making spaces available for people. This article proposes the concept of human capital space (HCS) and elaborates on its typology, spatial externalities, selection-sorting-matching mechanism, and crucial role in building dynamic capabilities in cities and regions. The…
Green connection to the world: Building regional responsible sustainable development strategies
Green development and solutions to environmental problems rely on local conditions and green connections between regions during their development. However, it is less understood whether a region's emission of carbon and pollutants is moderate compared to its development. The study proposes the ‘green connection of regional development’ concept from the consumption perspective to enhance the understanding and measurement of regional capacity towar…
Multidimensional assessment of regional inequality toward sustainable development
Considering various challenges and complexity in sustainable development, there is a need to enhance our understanding of the multidimensionality of spatial inequality (SI). This study proposed a multidimensional equality development index and empirically examined this using a case study of China. The dominant mode of SI has gradually changed from coastal–inland inequality to core–marginal inequality. The five dimensions of SI—economic vitality, …
Network of Tourism–Industrial Complex in Cities: Typologies and Implications through a Critical Literature Review
Although tourism has increasingly become an important activity with wide influences on the economic, social, and spatial development of a city, knowledge and interest mostly remain on its industrial performance and promotion. The synergy between tourism and city development is largely overlooked in many cases, resulting in suboptimal design and planning of city tourism activities and unfledged potentials of city development. The aim of the paper …
Ecological and social poverty traps: Complex interactions moving toward sustainable development
Different types of poverty traps can reinforce each other, and consequently, multiple traps pose challenges for poverty alleviation, especially in rural areas. There remains a lack of understanding of social and ecological poverty traps and their relationship with one another. We considered the Selinco area in the Tibetan highlands of China and investigated social and ecological poverty, for an understanding of the poverty trap through the land‐h…

Investigating operations of industrial parks in Beijing: Efficiency at different stages
Industrial parks enjoy significant importance in many countries and regions. This study presents a multi-stage operational process to evaluate the efficiency of parks at each stage using an empirical study of Beijing. The study finds that only three of 22 parks were efficient overall during 2006–2008 and two of 22 were efficient during 2009–2012. The promotion of business, facilitation of production, and rewards of economic returns are highly cor…
City shrinkage in China: Scalar processes of urban and hukou population losses
Analysis of the latest census data for 2000 and 2010 shows that 88 out of 336 Chinese municipalities suffered combinations of total, urban and hukou population loss. A general ordered logit model examines the ways manufacturing decline, services growth and demographic vitality interact in a specifically Chinese context of population control, contributing empirically and theoretically to studies of city shrinkage. Chinese experience shows that whi…

An integrated indicator on regional ecological civilization construction in China
China has come up with ecological civilization as one of major goals to improve its ecological sustainability during development in future. Under this broad framework, social, economic and natural ecosystems are expected to develop in harmony. However, there is lack of evaluation mechanism for this newly proposed strategy. Therefore, in this article, ecosystem services, Ecological Footprint and gross domestic product per capita were selected in o…

Harbin: A rust belt city revival from its strategic position
Rust belt cities are a special but important phenomenon in the world's industrialization landscape and city development trajectory. This profile analyses the struggling process and revitalization initiatives of Harbin, which was the first city established after the liberation of China, featuring the largest land area and highest latitude among all Chinese cities. The remarkable history of urban and industrial development once made Harbin the crad…

Peri-urban agricultural development in Beijing: Varied forms, innovative practices and policy implications
Agriculture in peri-urban areas is prone to dynamic changes due to urban influences. Previous studies have explored the impact of urban growth on peri-urban agriculture (PUA), but the active responses of the agricultural sector are rarely examined. This paper investigates recent agricultural development practices in peri-urban Beijing and explores approaches to agricultural transformation in the rapid process of urbanisation. The investigation fi…
Spatial representations and policy implications of industrial co-agglomerations, a case study of Beijing
Industrial parks have been tested in various regions around the world, in attempt to foster innovation and fuel economic growth. Despite the importance of industry co-agglomerations in regional growth, few studies examine them in regional geographic space. This paper combines exploratory spatial data analysis and input–output method to explore the spatial pattern of key industrial co-agglomerations in Beijing, which is illustrated by location, fu…
Economic clusters: A bridge between economic and spatial policies in the case of Beijing
Economic clusters have been recognised as important elements of urban and regional economic strategies, but their role in spatial planning is under-appreciated. This paper examines the initiatives and outcomes of economic clusters in relation to urban spatial planning in the periods of planned and market economies in China. Through an examination of the planning and development practices in Beijing, the effect of economic clusters in facilitating…

Chongqing: Beyond the latecomer advantage 重庆:超越后发优势
The spectacular growth of Chinese cities since the 1980s is often theorised as reflecting the advantages of latecomer development (ALD). ALD has been more effective in cosmopolitan, globally accessible coastal cities than outer cities. As leading cities, like Shanghai, close the development gap, the potential for ‘easy’ ALD growth falls off rapidly. Because institution building is more difficult than firm‐based growth, ALD strategies may generate…

Tools for helping comprehend ageing China
Children represent our planet’s future, yet the increasing ratio of older people makes it no longer possible to ignore the issue of population ageing. By 2030, people aged 65 years or older will number one billion; about one in every eight people on Earth (Kinsella and Phillips, 2005). There are needs for innovative thought and scientific contributions that address the reality and potential of our ageing world. Owing largely to the prevalence of …
