“…Through spatial superposition analysis, we propose a spatial distribution structure of population with the aggregated areas of population and GDP are shown in Figure 5. By referring to various standards for the identification of urban agglomerations at home and abroad [37][38][39][40], such as the indicators of number of cities, population size, per capita GDP, and the level of urbanization which are differential in different research and thinking, and combining the characteristics of this study, the identification criteria for aggregated areas of population and GDP are determined as follows: (1) the population density from high to low of the county-level administrative districts reveals a cumulative percentage of land area less than 12%, a cumulative percentage of population less than 60% and a cumulative percentage of GDP less than 76%; (2) the number of county-level administrative districts is greater than or equal to 3; and (3) the county-level administrative districts are contiguous. Based on the above principles, the key areas for the future development of urbanization in China are proposed following the spatial distribution structure of population of "1 + 4 + 11" pattern: 1 nationally aggregated area of population and GDP, 4 regionally aggregated areas of population and GDP, and 11 local regionally aggregated areas of population and GDP.…”

With the accelerating urbanization process, the population increasingly concentrates in urban areas. In view of the huge population in China and a series of problems in the process of rapid urbanization, there are no unified measures for characterizing the population pattern. This study explores the distribution pattern of the Chinese population and proposes a spatial distribution structure of population using GIS (Geographic Information System) analysis. The main findings are as follows: (1) In 2015, the distribution of population density in China presents a pattern of high in the southeast and low in the northwest based on the county-level administrative regions. The population main lives in the southeast of China based on the “Hu Huanyong Line”. (2) There is a great difference of the spatial correlation between land area, population and GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in China. The economic concentration in China is higher than the population concentration. In the areas where population and GDP are aggregated, per capita GDP is higher. (3) Based on the areas with highly aggregated population and GDP, the spatial distribution structure of population of “1 + 4 + 11” for China’s urbanization is put forward, namely, one national-level aggregated area of population and GDP, 4 regional-level aggregated areas of population and GDP, and 11 local regionally aggregated areas of population and GDP. This spatial structure represents an attempt to explore the direction of China’s urbanization, and it can be used to optimize the spatial development pattern and provide scientific guidance for the future urbanization plan.

“…Through spatial superposition and cluster analysis, the aggregated areas of population and economic production are shown in Figure 5. By referring to various standards for the identification of urban agglomerations at home and abroad [29][30][31][32] and combining the characteristics of this study, the identification criteria for aggregated areas of population and GDP were determined as follows: (1) the population density from high to low of county-level administrative districts revealed a cumulative percentage of land area less than 11.57%, a cumulative percentage of population less than 60.06% and a cumulative percentage of GDP less than 75.66%; (2) the number of county-level administrative districts was greater than or equal to 3; and (3) the county-level administrative districts were contiguous. Based on the above principles, the key areas for the future development of urbanization in China were proposed following the pattern of "1+4+11": one nationally aggregated area of population and economic production, 4 regionally aggregated areas of population and economic production and 11 local regionally aggregated areas of population and economic production.…”

With the accelerating urbanization process, the population increasingly concentrates in urban areas. In view of the special situation in China and a series of problems in the process of rapid urbanization, there were no reasonable measures for optimizing the population pattern. This study explored the distribution pattern of the Chinese population and proposed an optimization plan for the population distribution using GIS analysis. The main findings were as follows. (1) From 2010 to 2015, the distribution of population density in China presented a pattern of high in the southeast and low in the northwest based on the county-level administrative regions. The population still showed a tendency to migrate to the southeast of the country based on the “Hu Huanyong Line”. (2) There was a great difference in the land use efficiency in terms of population and economic production in China. The economic concentration in China was higher than the population concentration. In the areas where population and economic production were aggregated, GDP per capita and land use efficiency were higher. (3) Based on the land use efficiency in terms of population and economic production, the optimized urbanization plan of “1+4+11” for China’s urbanization was put forward, namely, one national-level aggregated area of population and economic production, 4 regional-level aggregated areas of population and economic production, and 11 local regionally aggregated areas of population and economic production. This optimization plan for urbanization represents an attempt to explore the direction of China’s urbanization, and it can be used to optimize the spatial development pattern and provide scientific guidance for the new urbanization plan.

“…Most research into urban fragmentation in China has focused on megacities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou Gao et al, 2014;Kuang et al, 2014;Li et al, 2013;Schneider et al, 2005;You, 2016aYou, , 2016bYu & Ng, 2007;Yue et al, 2013) and key regions such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Pearl River Delta as a whole (Lin, 2001;Tan et al, 2005;Yao & Liu, 1995). Urban fragmentation in China's island cities per se has not been a focus of study, with just a few exceptions (e.g., Su, 2017;Hong, 2017).…”

Urban morphology and urban fragmentation in Macau, China: island city development in the Pearl River Delta megacity region

ABSTRACT:The island city of Macau, part of China's Pearl River Delta megacity region, has undergone urban fragmentation, occasioning transport problems and environmental inequalities as well as conditioning future urban development. Land scarcity associated with island spatiality encourages dense and incremental urban expansion, facilitated by coastal land reclamation, causing spatiotemporal urban fragmentation. The Macau Peninsula, formerly a hilly island, has expanded and become increasingly connected to the mainland over the centuries. Macau faces critical challenges regarding traffic congestion, environmental pollution, and lack of space for housing and other urban functions. As Macau becomes increasingly integrated into the Pearl River Delta megacity region, particularly through the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, the island city's urban planning strategy uses land reclamation to create new urban zones. This may produce new urban space for social and economic development yet risks further urban fragmentation. We argue that spatially and historically sensitive geographical understandings of island city development and urban morphology are necessary for understanding Chinese urbanisation and coastal cities.
