“…However, the idea of a hierarchical urban system can be made more general in both theory and application and translated to higher spatial scales. In this, the literature that has built on central place theory has followed two different paths (McPherson, 1981). On the one hand, a number of economic studies have extended and modified the formal model, to arrive at a more general and realistic model of a hierarchical urban system (see Berry and Parr, 1988).…”

Empirical research establishing the costs and benefits that can be associated with polycentric urban systems is often called for but rather thin on the ground. In part, this is due to the persistence of what appear to be two analytically distinct approaches in understanding and measuring polycentricity: a morphological approach centring on nodal features and a functional approach focused on the relations between centres. Informed by the oft-overlooked but rich heritage of urban systems research, this paper presents a general theoretical framework that links both approaches and discusses the way both can be measured and compared in a coherent manner. Using the Netherlands as a test case, it is demonstrated that most regions tend to be more morphologically polycentric than functionally polycentric. The difference is largely explained by the size, external connectivity and degree of self-sufficiency of a region’s principal centre.

“…The academic literature that developed after the Second World War that would build on the work of Christaller () and Lösch () followed two paths (McPherson ). On the one hand, a number of regional science and urban economic studies have extended and modified the formal theoretical model to arrive at a more general and realistic model of urban systems (Berry et al ).…”

This paper introduces the theme of the special issue 'Agglomerations and the Rise of Urban Network Externalities'. Urban network externalities are defined as external economies from which firms and households can benefit by being located in agglomerations that are well embedded in networks that connect with other agglomerations. The contributions focus on the conceptualization of urban network externalities and their influence on urban performance. Finally, a research agenda is presented, that should focus on multiplexity and heterogeneity in networks and their impacts; interrelations between agglomerations and networks and their dynamic and place-based nature; and, the policy implications of urban network externalities.JEL classification: O18, R11, R12
