“…Recently, urban vibrancy studies have attracted attention not only from urban designers but also from geographers and sociologists [ 7 ]. Researchers from multiple disciplines are commonly focusing on the inner mechanism of urban vibrancy and how to portray vibrancy [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Urban vibrancy can be regarded as a social process that is strongly related to the built environment [ 9 ].…”

“…Urban vibrancy can be regarded as a social process that is strongly related to the built environment [ 9 ]. Jacobs believed that vibrancy comes from the activities of people and the diversity of space, which largely depend on the morphological features of a city, land-use configurations and other built environment elements [ 10 ]. Many empirical studies have explored the relationship between the built environment and vibrancy, and some practical conclusions have been verified [ 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

“…Moreover, there are still many questions in urban vibrancy studies that need to be settled. Two main issues have been raised: urban vibrancy portrayal and exploration of determinants [ 7 , 10 ]. Urban vibrancy has rich connotations, and different researchers hold different views on the subject.…”

“…Such a situation has created difficulty in determining a good proxy to represent vibrancy. Previous studies have used various spatiotemporally tagged data, including field observations and interview data [ 13 , 14 ], Hand-held GPS tracking data [ 8 ], cellular signaling data [ 7 , 12 ], small catering business data [ 2 , 10 ] and point-of-interest (POI) data [ 15 ], to portray vibrancy. In fact, some of these data are extremely costly or limited by spatial scale, and few of them can clearly depict urban vibrancy.…”

Creating a vital and lively urban environment is an inherent requirement of urban sustainable development, and understanding urban vibrancy is helpful for urban development policy making. The urban vibrancy theory needs more empirical supplementation and more evidence for the effect of the built environment on urban vibrancy. We use multisource urban spatial information data, including real-time population distribution (RPD) data and small catering business (SCB) data; quantitatively measure urban vibrancy; and build a comparative framework to explore the effect of the built environment on the urban vibrancy of a northwestern emerging city in China. The results demonstrate that the two urban vibrancy metrics present a spatial distribution pattern that is high in the south and low in the north areas of the city with significant spatial aggregation. Land-use intensity and diversity have strong positive effects on urban vibrancy but present a different pattern of effects on the two vibrancy measures. The influences on urban vibrancy of distance to the district center and distance to the nearest commercial complex are spatially complementary in the study area, and the effect of accessibility factors is weak. Our findings suggest that a somewhat cautious approach is required in the application of these classical planning theories to Urumqi.

“…The unification of spatial and metropolitan urban spatial interactions is basically a fairly complex problem in terms of spatial use and land use change for the development needs of socio-economic activities. The problem brought about by the compact form of the city is the mismatch between physical space and socio-economic activities [12]. Agricultural land conversion that is quite intensive towards economic growth causes a decrease in the quality of the environment.…”

Metropolitan Urban Mamminasata South Sulawesi, Indonesia as the object of study is explored in the core-peripheral spatial interaction towards the formation of suburban service centers. The problems raised in this study are (i) is there a relationship/correlation between spatial integration, spatial interaction, and urban agglomeration to the formation of urban activity systems and (ii) how the formation of urban activity systems works as a determinant of economic growth, land use change and environmental quality degradation towards sustainable development in the metropolitan city of Mamminasata. Comparative studies of suburban areas have been carried out over three time periods (2001, 2015 and 2019). Data elaboration on observations, surveys and documentation is done to describe urban dynamics in terms of economic, social and environmental aspects. Path analysis is used to address direct effects, indirect effects, differences, and dependencies between urban elements. The gravity model is used to analyze the spatial interactions of the core city with the periphery. The study results show that spatial integration, spatial interaction and urban agglomeration have a positive effect on the system of urban activity and economic growth in the outskirts of the Mamminasata Metropolitan area. The results of this study recommend policy makers and urban planners that land use change, spatial integration and urban spatial interactions on the spatial scale of metropolitan cities to require the implementation of sustainable development concepts oriented towards saving the environment, ensuring fairness in economic access and creating social cohesion, in line with meeting national Metropolitan city development targets by 2030.
