“…Urban land reform introduced land values to China's cities, resulting in a market environment for urban land use rights. Urban land reform that allowed land use rights to be transferred along with rents and fees established the institutional context for rapid urban development in China since the 1980s [37][38][39]. The formation of an urban land market began to reduce governments' overwhelming dominance in land use and building investment [39].…”

Exploring Differences in Commuting Behaviour among Various Income Groups during Polycentric Urban Development in China: New Evidence and Its Implications

Abstract:Income status is an important variable that is strongly associated with certain commuting behaviours of workers. This paper presents new evidence on how polycentric development impacts on workers' commuting behaviour among various income groups in Beijing, China. This study suggests that three key influencing factors-the public transport network, the location of affordable housing projects and the process of employment decentralisation-have played significant roles in affecting workers' commuting behaviour. The results of regression analysis indicate that subway and bus transport significantly and negatively influenced the commuting times of low-and middle-income workers, but the two transport modes did not have a significant influence on the commuting times of high-income workers. The findings from this research suggest that policies for promoting employment decentralisation during polycentric development have the potential to reduce workers' commuting times through promoting jobs-housing balance in the sub-centres. The results of this study indicate that a balanced jobs-housing relationship can be achieved through adjustment of affordable housing locations, and this can be effective in shortening low-income workers' commuting times in the sub-centres of Beijing.

“…Analysis of urban expansion in cities in the developing world has become more and more frequent [1][2][3][4][5]. Likewise research on the rapid growth of Asian cities is becoming increasingly abundant (see [6,7] or [8]). In Europe, the studies which deal with urban sprawl approaches are prevalent.…”

The middle of 2007 saw the beginning of a worldwide financial crisis that led to a sharp reduction in investment based on construction and urban development. This new situation is generating a new process, characterised by a slowdown that has almost reached a standstill when compared with the frenzied development of previous decades. In order to analyse these processes, this study examines urban land use changes and the urban growth rate and spatial dynamics of the metropolitan region of Madrid. The analysis has been carried out on a large scale between two periods (2000-2006 and 2006-2009) using a regional land use geodatabase. The results show the changes in the urban land use dynamics that took place over these two periods that could characterise the cities of Mediterranean Europe, where contrarily to the general pattern in Europe built-up areas are combining scattered built-up areas with new aggregated compact developments.

“…In the literature of urban planning or urban economics, "there is a big debate on even the definition of urban sprawl itself, let alone its causes and impacts" (Gordon and Richardson, 1997;Ewing, 1997;Fischel, 1999;Brueckner, 2001). Generally, the definition of urban sprawl appears that, "First, it has to be an inefficient or an excessive urban expansion, which certainly involves some benchmark of 'normal' or efficient urban structure; second, if determined inefficient or excessive, the spatial pattern may be in leapfrog development, low density, or some other forms" (Deng, 2004). This discussion revealed that global technology of construction lets the city to expand itself outside, but in this transformation, some factors which have an influence on the identity of the city have been forgotten.…”

A B S T R A C T Historical cities due to its magnificent building in its context have tremendous influence on formation of city identity, which is created through the interaction of natural, social and built elements. Unfortunately modernization after the industrial revolution couldn't adapt itself to vernacular area, owe to the fact that cities began to lose their identity and sense of belonging to the environment. New technology of construction lets the cities to expand itself outside, but in this transformation, some factors which have an influence on the identity of the city have been forgotten. In this research it is aimed to analysis Physical and social factors which are causing the loss of identity in the city of Famagusta (Gazimagusa
