Selective polycentricity in the knowledge economy
Metropolitan polycentricity in the knowledge-based economy represents not a simple dispersion of jobs but a qualitative restructuring of urban systems. While empirical studies on global metropolitan areas have described centralized–polycentric patterns, they have rarely examined the internal dynamics driving this transformation. Using the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) from 2000 to 2020, this study analyzes how polycentricity unfolds as a multidim…
Heat Adaptation in Street Markets
Climate change is intensifying extreme summer heat, negatively affecting public health and the vitality of urban open spaces. Attendance in outdoor spaces serves as an indicator of thermal comfort, as users naturally avoid thermally uncomfortable environments. Although various cooling strategies have been implemented to improve thermal conditions, their potential socioeconomic benefits through enhanced user activity have received limited attentio…

Citizen Oversight of Public Spaces
Privately owned public spaces (POPS) are intended for public use but are owned and maintained by building owners. Many POPS in Seoul fail to offer a welcoming environment due to inadequate maintenance and illegal private use. In this study, we explored whether citizen participation can effectively enhance the management of POPS and reinforce the general public’s determination to reform public spaces. We involved nonprofessional citizens and local…
Housing abandonment and socio-spatial inequalities
Housing abandonment is one of the most distinct characteristics of urban shrinkage. Previous research has investigated the extent and process of abandonment in the United States and Europe’s former industrialized centers. However, little is known about its features in places that have recently seen rapid urbanization. The study examines the relationship between vacant houses and a variety of urban factors, further expanding it to the perspective …
Effects of urban sprawl on regional disparity and quality of life
Has South Korea’s policy of relocating public institutions been successful? A case study of 12 agglomeration areas under the Innovation City Policy
South Korea’s Innovation City policy aims to balance the geography of economic activity across the country by relocating public institutions to local cities. The economic impact of relocating public institutions to local cities has been assessed by examining job creation, public spending, the quality of public services or demands for housing and employment in donor cities. However, as economies have become increasingly knowledge-based, the attrac…
Beyond Desakota
This study explored Vietnam’s urbanization process and spatial restructuring over the last 30 years to conceptualize a new phenomenon challenging the concept of desakota. We constructed socioeconomic and urban land cover data from 1987 to 2018. Furthermore, we compared the urbanization process with the economic transition and mapped urban land growth patterns. The study found the following urbanization features: (1) fluctuating process of urbaniz…
Fear of vacant houses
How has Covid-19 impacted the economic resilience of retail clusters
The effect of extremely low sky view factor on land surface temperatures in urban residential areas
Spaces Eliciting Negative and Positive Emotions in Shrinking Neighbourhoods
Proposing the classification matrix for growing and shrinking cities
Persistence of the socialist collective housing areas (KTTs)
Housing abandonment in shrinking cities of East Asia
Despite growing signs of urban shrinkage in countries such as Korea, Japan and China, few studies have examined the generalisable pattern of urban shrinkage and its relationship to the characteristics of housing abandonment in the East Asian context. This study explores five major paths that may explain the emergence of vacant houses in declining inner-city areas, based on empirical observations in the city of Incheon, South Korea. The paths are:…

Measuring urban diversity of Songjiang New Town
Describing the spatial patterns of heat vulnerability from urban design perspectives
A large number of East Asian cities, like cities in other parts of the world, are being affected by extreme heatwaves. Yet, little is known about the general urban design characteristics of sites with significant heat vulnerability within the localized context. In this study, empirical data sets were constructed describing the biomedical, social, environmental, and place-based parameters associated with the location of heat-related emergency call…

Meso- or micro-scale? Environmental factors influencing pedestrian satisfaction
Unraveling the factors determining the redevelopment of Seoul's historic hanoks
Does large-sized cities' urbanisation predominantly degrade environmental resources in China? Relationships between urbanisation and resources in the Changjiang Delta Region
Outward expansion of urban lands in the developing nations is often associated with a substantial loss of environmental resources such as forests, wetlands, freshwater and cash crop fields. Yet, determining how different aspects of urbanisation – such as city population size and spread pattern of built-up lands – contribute to the cumulative loss of resources remains controversial. In this study, data sets were constructed describing changes to l…
