“…Par exemple, Tel-Aviv bénéficie de l'industrie de l'électronique d'Israël (Benguigui, Czamanski et Marinov, 2001), Abu Dhabi et Dubaï enregistrent une croissance considérable en raison d'afflux monétaires issus de l'industrie pétrolière des Émirats arabes unis (Pacione, 2005), Canton est une ville vedette dans le contexte d'urbanisation rapide de la Chine au cours des dernières années (Gaubatz, 1999) et ainsi de suite. La thèse de « l'érosion de l'État » est très dis-cutable.…”

De quelle façon les grandes métropoles se sont-elles transformées au cours des vingt dernières années ? Leur population et leur économie se sont-elles améliorées, détériorées ou sont-elles demeurées stables ? Ces sociétés se sont-elles centralisées ou décentralisées ? Ont-elles obtenu un statut d’instance de gouvernance ou sont-elles demeurées des entités politiquement incomplètes ? Nous tentons de répondre à ces questions en examinant plus de 120 villes et en présentant des tendances de base. Les métropoles abondent en Amérique du Nord, en Europe occidentale et orientale, au Japon, en Amérique latine et en Afrique subsaharienne. Nous examinons également la « hiérarchie mondiale » des métropoles en évaluant les changements de catégories nominales des villes mondiales. Ces changements sont aussi comparés à l’évolution du développement humain sur le plan national. D’une certaine façon, une telle étude sonde les liens possibles entre la mondialisation et ses conséquences sur le développement des villes mondiales. Nous constatons que les villes de toutes les régions du monde développé sont passées d’un statut politico-socio-économique à un autre, d’où le choix du titre de notre article.How have major metropolises changed in the last 20 years ? Have their populations and economies gained, lost or remained stable ? Have theses societies centralized or decentralized ? Have metropolises gained status as governing entities or do they continue to remain as politically inchoate entities ? In answering these questions we survey over 120 metropolises in and lay out basic trends. The metropolises cover North America, Western and Eastern Europe, Japan and Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa. We also examine the “global pecking order” of metropolises ; we do this by assessing change in the nominal Global-and-World-Cities ranking schema ; these changes are also compared to national level of human development. In some ways a study of this kind probes possible linkages between the onset of globalization and its consequences for the development of global and world cities. As we see it, metropolises around the advanced world have moved from various politico-socio-economic states to another — hence, our title.¿De qué manera se han transformado las grandes metrópolis en el transcurso de los últimos veinte años ? ¿Han mejorado, se han deteriorado o se han mantenido estables su población y su economía ? ¿Se han centralizado o descentralizado estas sociedades ? ¿Han obtenido éstas un estatus de instancia de gobernanza o han permanecido como entidades políticamente incompletas ? Intentamos responder a estas preguntas por medio de un análisis de más de 120 ciudades, del cual presentamos las principales tendencias. Las metrópolis abundan en América del Norte, en Europa del Oeste y del Este, en Japón, en América Latina y en África subsahariana.

“…In between buildings, there are back yards, private and public gardens and lots that are yet to be developed. Studies of urban clusters, defined as continuous built spaces (Benguigui, et al, 2000;2001a;2001b; carried out at a fine spatial resolution, confirm that while open spaces in cities do shrink in quantity, they persist and in the limit represent about a third of the urban land area. More importantly, their connectivity at least in some cities is robust (Czamanski, Malkinson and Toger, 2014;Toger, et al, 2015).…”

The Complex Interactions between Cities and Nature

Purpose: Proximity to nature is highly valued by urbanites. They demonstrate higher willingness to pay for housing at locations near open and green spaces. But, nature in cities can generate negative externalities as well. The aim of this paper is to present the complex relationship between nature and cities and the possible negative influence of urban nature on property prices. Methodology/Approach:The data presented in this paper include open spaces, the presence of wild animals and residential property values in Haifa, Israel. These data were analyzed to uncover spatial regularities and basic statistical relationships. Findings:The results reveal the expected presence of dominant positive externalities related to proximity to open and green areas. However, in certain areas and under certain circumstances, the nuisances generated by the presence of wild animals in close proximity to housing are correlated with lower property prices. Research Limitation/implication:We demonstrate in this paper that that there is a complex relationship between nature and cities, albeit focusing our analysis on large mammals in cities only. Disentangling positive and negative externalities of urban nature is a challenging task. The paper presents an example of the potential difficulties that need to be dealt with in such analysis.Originality/Value of paper: Through the case study, we show that there are good reasons to believe that there are both positive and negative externalities of nature in cities. To our best knowledge, attempts to disentangle both types of effects using property values do not exist in the literature. Category: Research paper

“…Boltzmann's equation can be employed to describe the fractal dimension growth of cities [13]. In fact, Boltzmann's equation was used to model urban population evolution by Benguigui et al [44]. Urban population is associated with urban form and urbanization.…”

Reinterpreting the Origin of Bifurcation and Chaos by Urbanization Dynamics

Chaos associated with bifurcation makes a new science, but the origin and essence of chaos are not yet clear. Based on the well-known logistic map, chaos used to be regarded as intrinsic randomicity of determinate dynamics systems. However, urbanization dynamics indicates new explanation about it. Using mathematical derivation, numerical computation, and empirical analysis, we can explore chaotic dynamics of urbanization. The key is the formula of urbanization level. The urbanization curve can be described with the logistic function, which can be transformed into one-dimensional map and thus produce bifurcation and chaos. On the other hand, the logistic model of urbanization curve can be derived from the rural-urban population interaction model, which can be discretized to a two-dimensional map. An interesting finding is that the two-dimensional rural-urban coupling map can create the same bifurcation and chaos patterns as those from the one-dimensional logistic map. This suggests that the urban bifurcation and chaos come from spatial interaction between rural and urban populations rather than pure intrinsic randomicity of determinate models. This discovery provides a new way of looking at origin and essence of bifurcation and chaos in physical and social sciences.
