The future of the city centre: Urbanisation, transformation and resilience – a tale of two Newcastle cities

Abstract: Recent debates over the content and theoretical orientation of urban studies act as a strong reminder that the nature and existence of the city as a form of spatial urban agglomeration is changing. They have acted positively as a heuristic to inspire critical analysis of urbanisation and helped to illuminate the considerable empirical variation over time and space in urban agglomeration forms. However, in shifting the focus onto the planetary reach of urbanisation, such debates risk deflecting attention away f… Show more

This term does not apply to individual buildings but to entire districts or city blocks that have been deprived of their original functions or purpose as a result of economic and social transformations [39].…”

“…Even leaving aside important critical debates on the meanings of ‘urbanisation’ and on the longstanding debate between particularism and universalism (Brenner and Schmid, 2015; Fox and Goodfellow, 2022; Randolph and Storper, 2022; Rogerson and Giddings, 2021; Storper and Scott, 2016; Zhang and Grydehøj, 2021), from a more practical point of view, identifying a ‘hard’ empirical metric that allows between settlements to be distinguished in a generalisable, cross-country way is challenging. For example, there is no clear-cut distinction between rural and urban areas.…”

“…Some relocation of firms, households and real estate demand is evident (Bloom & Ramani, 2021). But city centres are likely to remain ‘potent powerhouses of the spatial concentration of the means of production and infrastructure’ (Rogerson & Giddings, 2021), continuing to benefit from the cultural and agglomeration economies of proximity and concentration, even as their industry configuration may adjust as the digitally enabled post‐pandemic dynamics of settlement, work, investment and mobility are reassembled.…”
