“…magnets of rural-urban migration, despite the continuous ideological and policy intensions to control the growth of large cities and to encourage the development of smaller ones Wong 1994 , 1998 ;Zhang and Han 2009 ). This large-city dominated urbanization process was complemented by unique drivers in different time periods.…”

“…China's rapid economic growth and development of rapid inter-city transportation networks have led to increased mobility across cities for various purposes [10,11]. However, this growth has also resulted in widening regional disparities [12,13]. As a medium for the dissemination of labor, capital, and information, inter-city population movement serves as a functional linkage between cities [5], highlighting the underlying socio-economic factors driving these flows.…”

In the current field of regional studies, there is a growing focus on regional spatial relationships from the perspective of functional linkages between cities. Inter-city population movement serves as an embodiment of the integrated functionality of cities within a region, and this is closely tied to the socio-economic development of urban areas. This study utilized Location-Based Services (LBSs) to collect the scale of inter-city population movement across 355 cities in China. Additionally, socio-economic data published by local governments were incorporated. By establishing a Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) model, this research explores the spatial relationships between inter-city population movement and socio-economic influencing factors in China. This study aims to elucidate the spatial scales of the relationships between various variables. Our research findings indicate that the relationship between inter-city population movement and potential socio-economic determinants exhibits spatial non-stationarity. It is better to explore this spatial relationship through the MGWR model as there are different determinants operating on inter-city population movement at different spatial scales. The spatial distribution of the coefficient estimates shows significant regional differences and numerical variations. In China’s economically developed coastal regions, there is relatively balanced development among cities, with advanced manufacturing and producer service industries acting as significant drivers of mobility. In inland regions of China, city size is the most influential variable, directing a substantial flow of human and economic resources towards regional socio-economic hubs such as provincial capitals. The main contribution of this study is the re-examination of the relationship between inter-city population movement and socio-economic factors from the perspective of spatial scales. This approach will help China to consider the heterogeneity of different regions more extensively when formulating regional development policies, thereby facilitating the targeted promotion of regional element flow.

“…Moreover, the scale, location and the rate and form of contemporary urbanization differ from the historic urbanization patterns experienced by the Global North. Contemporary urbanization occurs at a larger scale and involves multidimensional aspects, multiple driving forces and multiple spatial scales, which require a regional or national perspective to comprehend (Seto et al, 2010; Zhang & Han, 2009). Regional urbanization requires transformative capacity.…”

Indonesia is home to more than 260 million people and is one of the world’s most rapidly urbanizing countries. Between 1980 and 2010, Indonesia’s urban population grew about fourfold, from 32.8 to 118.3 million. Using data from National Census publications, this article examines the urbanization patterns and trends in urban growth in Indonesia from 1980 to 2010. The urbanization process has increased the number of cities in Indonesia from 50 to 94 and expanded large urban regions. Most of these expanded urban regions are located on the island of Java, including the metropolitan areas of Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Semarang, Malang, Surakarta and Yogyakarta. The article also identifies the emergence of non-statutory towns and new extended urban regions outside the jurisdictions of urban municipalities. The policy implications of the emergence of such urban areas are additionally discussed.
