Abstract

De Goei B., Burger M. J., Van Oort F. G. and Kitson M. Functional polycentrism and urban network development in the Greater South East, United Kingdom: evidence from commuting patterns, 1981-2001, Regional Studies. In contemporary literature on changing urban systems, it is often argued that the traditional central place conceptualization is outdated and should be replaced by a network view that emphasizes the increasing criss-crossing pattern of interdependencies between spatial units. This paper tests how urban networks develop by looking at commuting patterns in the Greater South East, United Kingdom, for the period 1981-2001. Although the empirical results indicate that the Greater South East cannot be currently characterized as a polycentric urban region or an integrated urban network, there is some evidence for urban network development at the local, intra-urban, level, and a decentralization of the system at the regional, inter-urban, level.

Le polycentrisme fonctionnel et le developpement des reseaux urbains dans l'agglomeration du sud-est du R-U: des preuves provenant de la structure des migrations quotidiennes entre 1981 et 2001, Regional Studies. Dans la documentation recente sur l'evolution des systemes urbains, on affirme souvent que la notion classique de la place centrale est demodee et que l'on devrait la remplacer par une notion de reseaux qui souligne la croissance des interdependances entrecroisees des zones geographiques. Cet article cherche a tester l'evolution des reseaux urbains tout en examinant la structure des migrations quotidiennes urbaines dans l'agglomeration du sud-est du R-U entre 1981 et 2001. Bien que les resultats empiriques laissent voir que l'agglomeration du sud-est du R-U ne se caracterise actuellement ni comme une region urbaine polycentrique, ni comme un reseau urbain integre, il y a des preuves en faveur du developpement des reseaux urbains sur le plan local intraurbain et d'une decentralisation du systeme au niveau regional interurbain.

Funktionaler Polyzentrismus und Entwicklung urbaner Netzwerke im Grossraum des Sudostens von Grossbritannien: Belege aus Pendlerstromen, 1981-2001, Regional Studies. In der modernen Literatur uber Veranderungen in den urbanen Systemen wird oftmals die These aufgestellt, dass die traditionelle Konzeptualisierung eines zentralen Ortes veraltet ist und durch eine Netzwerkperspektive ersetzt werden sollte, mit der die zunehmend kreuz und quer verlaufenden Wechselwirkungen zwischen raumlichen Einheiten betont wird. In diesem Beitrag uberprufen wir die Entwicklung urbaner Netzwerke am Beispiel der Pendlerstrome im Grossraum des Sudostens von Grossbritannien zwischen 1981 und 2001. Aus den empirischen Ergebnissen geht hervor, dass sich der Sudosten Grossbritanniens derzeit nicht als polyzentrische urbane Region oder integriertes urbanes Netzwerk charakterisieren lasst. Dennoch gibt es einige Anzeichen fur die Entwicklung eines urbanen Netzwerks auf lokaler intra-urbaner Ebene sowie fur eine Dezentralisierung des Systems auf regionaler intra-urbaner Ebene.

Policentrismo funcional y desarrollo de redes urbanas en el sureste de Inglaterra: evidencias de modelos de desplazamientos, 1981-2001, Regional Studies. En la literatura contemporanea sobre cambios en los sistemas urbanos se suele argumentar que la conceptualizacion tradicional de un lugar centrico esta desfasada y deberia reemplazarse por una vision de redes que haga hincapie en el creciente modelo entrecruzado de interdependencias entre las unidades espaciales. En este articulo comprobamos como se desarrollan las redes urbanas al observar los modelos de desplazamientos en la region sureste del Reino Unido durante el periodo 1981-2001. Aunque los resultados empiricos indican que la region sureste del Reino Unido no se puede caracterizar actualmente como una region urbana policentrica o una red urbana integrada, hay evidencias de un desarrollo de redes urbanas a nivel local e intraurbano y una descentralizacion del sistema a nivel regional e interurbano.
