Compounded barriers: The intersection of gender and age in ride-hailing usage
Urban mobility disparities are shaped by the intersection of gender and age, yet their combined effects on the adoption of emerging mobility services remain insufficiently understood. This study applies an intersectional framework to examine how gender, age, and their interaction influence ride-hailing usage across different travel purposes, with a focus on the mediating role of socioeconomic and environmental factors. Using structural equation m…
Is prefecture-level city a “city” in China: A critical review
The definition and boundaries of cities often determine how research is undertaken due to the areal units used to provide geo-located data and thus affect the research findings. Prefecture-level cities are popular city-equivalent statistical units in China, particularly in studies of inter-city mobility. Most prefecture-level cities in China have been delineated as meso-scale administrative divisions for territorial governance through various app…

Land Commodification: New Land Development and Politics in China since the Late 1990s
This article examines the development of the land market in China since the late 1990s. It analyses new practices in which urban space is commodified through ad hoc market development, and argues that the structure of the land market is indeed becoming more complicated and that land sales are pervasive and rampant. Under such circumstances, the state has rearticulated its function in land governance in order to apply a more consolidated regulator…
City Repositioning and Competitiveness Building in Regional Development: New Development Strategies in Guangzhou, China
Competition among cities for mobile capital in the twenty-first century has intensified. The urban hierarchy of regions is undergoing transformation, causing economic fortunes to vary markedly among different localities. In China, these global forces and regional restructuring have caused a relative economic decline in some historically powerful cities, and have also brought about the emergence of new economic centers. In response to these forces…
Decoding Urban Land Governance: State Reconstruction in Contemporary Chinese Cities
In the rapidly growing literature on urban development in China, many authors have emphasised the salient features of economic decentralisation and the increasingly significant role of the local state. However, such arguments neglect a counter-trend in which the central state has deterritorialised and rehierarchised some key functions. Using the case of land governance, this paper argues that facing the complication of changing urban conditions, …

Changing Spatial Distribution and Determinants of Land Development in Chinese Cities in the Transition from a Centrally Planned Economy to a Socialist Market Economy: A Case Study of Guangzhou
The spatial distribution and locational characteristics of land development have changed dramatically in Chinese cities since the land reform of 1987 which allowed the paid transfer of land-use rights—i.e. land leasing. This has led to the rapid transformation of the urban spatial structure of Chinese cities. There is an urgent need to study the general trend of such changes and their policy implications. However, due to the lack of data, such in…
The Social Space of Guangzhou City, China
Principal components analysis and cluster analysis we used to analyze the urban social spatial structure of socialist China, using the city proper of Guangzhou in 1984 as the study area. Unlike the urban social spatial structure in Western cities, which are commonly differentiated by socioeconomic status, family status, and ethnicity, it was found that the main components of social space in Guangzhou are population density, educational level, emp…

From cities to super mega city regions in China in a new wave of urbanisation and economic transition: Issues and challenges
A mega city region comprises a cluster of highly networked urban settlements anchored by one or more large cities. Substantial studies have been conducted in the 21st century to theorise the development of mega city regions from two perspectives: one focuses on the rationale/challenges of planning and governance while the other focuses on the economic forces that generate the mega city regions. In China, the outstanding position of mega city regi…

Internal Structure of Chinese Cities in the Midst of Economic Reform
Socialist ideology, state control, and economic planning played significant roles in shaping the internal structure of Chinese cities before the adoption of economic reforms in 1978. They led to an internal structure of Chinese cities that is quite different from that of Western cities, with mixed land use and social areas formed mainly on the basis of the locations of work places. Post-1978 economic reform has brought market mechanisms to Chines…
High-rise Living in Singapore Public Housing
In recent years, amid the debates of sustainable development and urban compactness, there has been a widening interest to reintroduce high-rise living in cities. Several European cities including London and Manchester are once again building high-rise housing as part of their urban housing strategy. Elsewhere, in Asia, Hong Kong and Singapore are distinguished by their high-rise public housing developments. With nearly half of the world's populat…
Administrative restructuring and urban development in China: Effects of urban administrative level upgrading
This study focuses on state-led urbanisation in the Chinese context by examining the effects of urban administrative level upgrading on urbanisation and urban development. We argue that urban administrative level upgrading is an important policy instrument in China that empowers cities to play a leading role in driving national and regional economic development. However, there is a lack of systematic empirical investigation to determine whether t…
Spatial Development of Producer Services in the Chinese Urban System
The Chinese economy has transformed from the development of industries in the early economic reform period of the 1980s to the development of service industries in the 2000s and, more recently, the emergence of producer service industries. Producer services have become increasingly important to the Chinese economy. Most studies on producer services in China mainly focus on individual cities. Spatial development of producer services at the regiona…
Intraurban Location of Producer Services in Guangzhou, China
The location of producer services has significant implications on the restructuring of the urban landscape. It is well documented that the growth of producer services in advanced economies has tended to be highly concentrated in the city proper, while at the same time demonstrating a prevailing tendency toward decentralization in recent years because of the development of information and communication technology. Producer services have been growi…
Moving down the urban hierarchy: Turning point of China’s internal migration caused by age structure and hukou system
Internal migration is critically important in China, where the fertility rate is declining and international immigration is under strict control. This study explores the massive population movement in China, examines the migration pattern of non- hukou migrants, 2010–2015 and 2014–2015 migration patterns through the urban hierarchy of the urban system using migration trajectories derived from the 2015 One Percent Population Sample Survey. Results…

The Use of Modal Accessibility Gap as an Indicator for Sustainable Transport Development
Transport plays an important role in sustainable development because it uses a lot of energy. In order to plan for sustainable transport development, there is a need to develop indicators for assessing and monitoring transport development. In this paper we develop a sustainable transport development indicator by making use of the concepts of accessibility and geographical information systems. A modal accessibility gap index is proposed, which is …

Regional delineation of China based on commuting flows
Delineating functional regions by association and connectivity has attracted much attention in urban and regional studies. Commuting ties reflect the social and economic interactions between places. However, most commuting studies are at the city level. A national-scale commuting map of China has not been drawn. This study employs computational and visual methods to model and visualize the commuting flows between county-level units. We use a data…

Industrial Policy and Industrial Park Development in Hong Kong
Hong Kong government's industrial policy is basically non-intervention. Its role in industrial development is mainly through the provision of infrastructural and development supports and investment promotion programmes. Industrial estate is used as a means for promoting industrial diversification and the development of high technology industries by leasing land to qualified industries at development cost which is substantially lower than the mark…

Urban Spatial Structure in a Transitional Economy: The Case of Guangzhou, China
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 dynamics. The land use changes in Guangzhou are used for a case study. The major findings are rapid decentraliz…

Modelling sustainable urban development by the integration of constrained cellular automata and GIS
Cellular Automata (CA) have attracted growing attention in urban simulation because their capability in spatial modelling is not fully developed in GIS. This paper discusses how cellular automata (CA) can be extended and integrated with GIS to help planners to search for better urban forms for sustainable development. The cellular automata model is built within a grid-GIS system to facilitate easy access to GIS databases for constructing the cons…
Calibration of Cellular Automata by Using Neural Networks for the Simulation of Complex Urban Systems
This paper presents a new cellular automata (CA) model which uses artificial neural networks for both calibration and simulation. A critical issue for urban CA simulation is how to determine parameter values and define model structures. The simulation of real cities involves the use of many variables and parameters. The calibration of CA models is very difficult when there is a large set of parameters. In the proposed model, most of the parameter…
Neural-network-based cellular automata for simulating multiple land use changes using GIS
This paper presents a new method to simulate the evolution of multiple land uses based on the integration of neural networks and cellular automata using GIS. Simulation of multiple land use changes using cellular automata (CA) is difficult because numerous spatial variables and parameters have to be utilized. Conventional CA models have problems in defining simulation parameter values, transition rules and model structures. In this paper, a three…
