“…Y recientemente, dichos procesos han sido abordados para la realidad latinoamericana (Fernández-Maldonado, Romein, Verkoren & Parente, 2014;Romein, Verkoren & Fernández-Maldonado, 2009). Así, para el caso chileno, Truffello e Hidalgo (2015) estudian la evolución del área metropolitana de Santiago hacia una estructura urbana policéntrica como consecuencia de la aparición, consolidación y evolución de numerosos subcentros comerciales.…”

issn impreso 0250-7161 | issn digital resumen | Utilizando datos relacionales, de movilidad obligada, en combinación con indicadores de concentración y densidad de población y empleo, en este artículo se examina la reestructuración territorial en la metrópoli de Buenos Aires desde un enfoque funcional. Se muestra que el crecimiento metropolitano sigue pautas tanto de dispersión como de policentrismo, que se manifiestan en distintas partes de la metrópoli. Los subcentros de empleo presentan capacidad para estructurar el funcionamiento metropolitano y ejercer distinto grado de influencia en los respectivos corredores. Con todo, la ciudad central ejerce un papel estructurante principalmente respecto a los flujos laborales en ocupaciones cualificadas y de mayor formación, que provienen sobre todo de los corredores Norte y Noroeste. La complejidad de estos procesos debe ser considerada en la formulación de políticas públicas tendientes a atenuar los impactos no deseados de la dispersión, conforme se consolidan los subcentros de empleo como articuladores de la dinámica metropolitana.palabras clave | áreas metropolitanas, reestructuración territorial, movilidad. abstract | This article examines the territorial restructuring of the metropolis of Buenos Aires from a functional approach, using commuting relational data along with indicators of concentration and density of population and employment. It is observed that metropolitan growth follows patterns of dispersion and polycentricism, which appear in various areas

“…While moving slowly towards more dispersed (and sometimes weakly polycentric) structures (Salvati et al, 2013), southern European urban development is still concentrated around the metropolitan cores, which practically excludes the formation of polycentric nodes in the metropolitan periphery (see the discussion in Fernández-Maldonado, Romein, Verkoren, & Paula Pessoa, 2013). Developmental policies in these areas should incorporate more effective measures favouring urban competitiveness through polycentricism but also need to take into account the specific long-term settlement path and the related economic structure (Zuindeau, 2007).…”

“…Previous studies have explored the dispersal pattern in some large Western metropolises [4][5][6]. In contrast, the urban spatial form in developing countries has only shifted from monocentric to polycentric, and most of the literature focuses on the identification of employment subcenters [7][8][9][10]. But what is the effect of employment subcenters in developing country metropolises?…”

The Dynamic Impacts of Employment Subcenters on Residential Land Price in Transitional China: An Examination of the Beijing Metropolitan Area

Abstract:In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the urban spatial structure in developing countries. In China, studies have shown that many mega cities or big cities have been transformed into polycentric spatial structures. However, polycentric spatial structures' impact on urban development requires further empirical research, including in relation to land price, commuting, and population distribution. Taking Beijing as an example, this paper discusses employment subcenters' rise and evolution on residential land prices. Using the land transaction data for 2001-2013, this paper analyzes the residential market characteristics in terms of their temporal and spatial variation and studies the impact of employment subcenters on residential land prices using a Hedonic model of Beijing city for
