Compact urban development and green space accessibility
The unequal carbon cost of commuting
Do polycentric megaregions contribute to the economic development of cities in China
Do Municipal Amalgamations Work? A Systematic Literature Review
Municipal amalgamation has become a key policy tool globally, drawing significant academic attention for its effects on local governance, efficiency, and equity. This study reviews international empirical literature on municipal amalgamations, incorporating new evidence from transitional economies and introducing a spatial-scale perspective to differentiate impacts at unit-wide and subunit levels. Key findings include: (1) Most literature focuses…
The urban spatial change hypothesis revisited
The mechanism for the intra-city employment growth
The impact of city-county amalgamations on small administrative units
Nonlinear relationships of commuting and built environments surrounding residences and workplaces with obesity
Obesity is a prominent risk contributor to health. However, few studies have explored the nonlinear relationships between commuting and built environments, particularly around workplaces, with obesity. Based on a sample of 1080 respondents in Shanghai, China, we used the gradient-boosting decision trees model to investigate the relative contributions and nonlinear relationships of commuting and built environments surrounding residences and workpl…

Pathways from the campus-based built environment to obesity
Internet, transportation infrastructure and the spatial structure of urban employment in China
This study revealed the non-linear impact of the internet on the spatial structure of intracity employment and how transportation infrastructure moderates this non-linear impact. Using data from 22.47 million enterprises from the China Economic Census of 2004, 2008 and 2013, we found that (1) on average, the internet promotes urban employment agglomeration, but this agglomeration effect diminishes marginally as internet penetration increases; (2)…
Do polycentric structures reduce surface urban heat island intensity
Polycentric spatial structure and its economic performance
Although there seems to be a widely shared expectation that polycentricity increases economic competitiveness, the empirical findings are inconsistent. As the first meta-analysis, this paper examines whether emerging empirical evidence provides an insight into the polycentricity–productivity effect. Based on 139 estimates, we find no compelling evidence to support that polycentricity is either beneficial or detrimental for economic development. F…
Do polycentric urban regions promote functional spillovers and economic performance? Evidence from China
Although the literature often suggests that the economic prowess of ‘polycentric urban regions’ partly results from the ability of their constituent cities to promote functional spillovers through ‘borrowed size’, the empirical evidence remains scarce. This paper finds that polycentricity boosts the positive functional spillovers of producer service sector of city clusters beyond their boundaries only when city clusters have larger population and…
Defining ‘centres’ in analyses of polycentric urban regions
The analysis of ‘polycentric urban regions’ (PURs) crucially depends on the operational definition of their constituent centres. We extend an insight into this issue by exploring how analyses of the level of intra- and inter-city polycentricity in the Yangtze River Delta, China, are contingent upon the identification and territorial delineation of its centres. The results help to specify more clearly PUR measurement procedures, and provide furthe…
Panacea, placebo or pathogen? An evaluation of the integrated performance of polycentric urban structures in the Chinese prefectural city-regions
An N-Shaped Association between Population Density and Abdominal Obesity
Abdominal obesity is a threat to public health and healthy cities. Densification may reduce abdominal obesity, but current evidence of the relationship between population density and abdominal obesity is not conclusive. The aim of this study was to disentangle the nonlinear association between population density and abdominal obesity. Data came from the 2004-2015 China Health and Nutrition Survey, which included 36,422 adults aged between 18 and …
Information communication technology and manufacturing decentralisation in China
The advent of the “information age” ushered in renewed expectations of systematic urban spatial structure transformation. However, few studies have quantitatively assessed these changes, especially the decentralisation of manufacturing employment. This paper tests hypotheses regarding the decentralisation–centralisation effect of information and communication technology (ICT) on manufacturing. Further, the work employs an IV‐GMM estimation techni…

Spatial structure and labour productivity
This paper examines the effect of spatial structure, as measured on the monocentricity–polycentricity dimension, on labour productivity at the prefectural level in China. Using pooled cross-sectional and instrumental variable techniques, we find that, all else being equal, prefectures with a more monocentric spatial structure have a higher labour productivity, robust to different specifications. Furthermore, large agglomeration economies may fuel…

Built environmental impacts on individual mode choice and BMI

Disentangling the effects of the built environment on car ownership
The built environment and overweight in Shanghai
Cultural diversity and new firm formation in China
Using data on new private firm formation in prefectural cities in China in 2008 and internal migration of Chinese people in 2000, this paper examines to what extent cultural diversity can explain the regional variation of entrepreneurship. The results indicate that, holding other factors constant, cultural diversity vigorously promotes new private firm formation, especially in the manufacturing industry and for small firms. We address the endogen…

New economy and national city size distribution
Are mega-cities wrecking urban hierarchies? A cross-national study on the evolution of city-size distribution
Residential and workplace neighborhood environments and life satisfaction
Can the Internet narrow regional economic disparities
Using city-level data from China for the period 2003–15, this paper studies how the Internet affects economic disparities between cities through its heterogeneous impact on the economic growth of cities with different penetration rates and population sizes. The results show that the Internet widens the economic disparities between cities with low Internet penetration rates and cities with high Internet penetration rates, and even if the penetrati…
Government fragmentation and economic growth in China’s cities
This study examines the effect of metropolitan government fragmentation on urban economic growth in China. Spatially decentralised governance under centralised political control plays an important role in China’s post-reform economic development, although evidence has focused on the growth-inducing effect of political completion at the provincial and cross-city levels. Our study suggests that economic growth increases with the number of urban dis…

Does Compact Built Environment Help to Reduce Obesity? Influence of Population Density on Waist–Hip Ratio in Chinese Cities
This study aimed to identify the non-linear association between population density and obesity in China and to provide empirical evidence for the public health orientated guideline of urban planning. By conducting a longitudinal study with data collected from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) between 2004 and 2011, we applied fixed-effect models to assess the non-linear association between the compact built environment and waist-hip ra…

Impacts of a multi-scale built environment and its corresponding moderating effects on commute duration in China
Many studies have found that the built environment affects commute duration. However, they have paid little attention to the moderating effects of the surrounding built environment, and few have focused on the built environment at different levels simultaneously. Based on a sample of 3453 individuals across China in 2014, our study examined the impacts of the built environment at both the neighbourhood and city levels on commute duration as well …
