Determining the association of the built environment and socioeconomic attributes with urban shrinking in Yokohama City

Shuang Ma et al.

Summary: This study examines the association between urban shrinking and environmental and socioeconomic attributes using a mixed geographically weighted regression model. The results show that bus stop density, road intersection density, aging population, housing price, distance to the nearest park, proportion of business areas, and proportion of private houses and flats have mixed effects on urban shrinking. The study suggests that spatial heterogeneous strategies should be considered to address the issue.

Types, Modes and Influencing Factors of Urban Shrinkage: Evidence from the Yellow River Basin, China

Xiaoming Ding et al.

Summary: This study comprehensively measured urban shrinkage in the Yellow River Basin in China, revealing a significant increase in the number and degree of shrinking cities at the prefecture and county levels over the past 20 years. The identified shrinking cities are mainly located in the upper and middle reaches of the river basin, showing a core-periphery characteristic. Peripheral shrinkage is the main mode of urban shrinkage. Economic development and industrial transformation have a positive impact on urban shrinkage, while factors such as aging population and the opening of high-speed railways have a negative impact.

Classification of Shrinking Cities in China Based on Self-Organizing Feature Map

Xinyi Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the shrinking cities in China and classifies them into four categories. The results show that the shrinking cities in China are mainly concentrated in the western, central, and northeastern regions, with fewer instances in the eastern region. This study provides valuable empirical references for policymakers and urban planners in formulating policies and achieving rational development of shrinking cities.

Spatiotemporal Pattern Identification and Driving Mechanism of Urban Shrinkage in the Yellow River Basin from 2000 to 2020

Wei Gao et al.

Summary: Regional differences in the Yellow River Basin have increased, limiting the high-quality development of the region during recent urbanization. The study reveals that the patterns of urban shrinkage in the basin vary over time, with worsening shrinkage from 2000 to 2020. The phenomenon of urban shrinkage is scale dependent, with both spatial differentiation and nesting relationships observed. Night light data more accurately reflect the structural shrinkage characteristics of cities compared to population data. The main factors contributing to urban shrinkage include an aging population, declining industrial greening, and decreased natural growth rate in the population structure and public service facilities.

Exploring dynamic process of regional shrinkage in Ohio: A Bayesian perspective on population shifts at small-area levels

Youngbin Lym

Summary: This study focuses on the dynamic shrinkage process of population shifts at the neighborhood level, utilizing a full Bayesian hierarchical analytic framework. The findings suggest that an increase in the initial population of a census tract may lead to population decline, while factors such as the relative share of African American population, unemployment rate, and poverty rate show a negative correlation with population growth. The study also reveals the significant influences of random effects, including spatial correlation, non-linear temporal dependence, and spatiotemporal interaction.

Spatiotemporal pattern evolution and influencing factors of shrinking cities: Evidence from China

Fuyou Guo et al.

Summary: The paper explores the spatial and temporal differentiation of China's shrinking cities, highlighting the emergence of shrinkage as a prominent theme alongside growth. Factors such as socioeconomic development, urban environment, urban space scale, and population development were found to jointly affect city shrinkage, providing valuable insights for evidence-based urban development policies and guiding shrinking cities towards smart shrinkage.

Evolution in Cities

Sarah E. Diamond et al.

Summary: Research conducted in urban settings may not reveal new evolutionary mechanisms, but it offers unique opportunities to explore evolutionary forces and address classic questions in new ways. Careful alignment between urban use and research questions is crucial for maximizing insights. By developing a framework, progress in urban evolution research has been highlighted, and future research directions have been identified for further expansion to tackle new and longstanding evolutionary biology questions. Urban environments can serve as evolutionary test beds for addressing a wide range of evolutionary questions.

Governance reaction to the emerging megacity shrinkage in Tokyo: The case of the Tsukuba express transit-suburban region

Eigo Tateishi et al.

Summary: This study on the suburban region of the Tokyo Megacity served by the Tsukuba Express reveals that governance systems need a mix of strategies to preemptively address urban shrinkage, but implementing these strategies through interpolicy coordination and intermunicipal cooperation in growing metropolitan suburbs is challenging.
