Abstract

ABSTRACT Production models’ flexibilization in capitalist economies continues to transform industrial activities’ spatial organization in a regional continuum. Placed in planned complexes located on cities’ fringes, firms often stand inaccessible from regional circulation routes, which hinder activities’ long-term economic sustainability. Further changes are impending, as forthcoming Smart Manufacturing logistics require efficient linkages between local and regional transportation models. Such issues compel urban planners, economists and policymakers to re-evaluate industrial territories’ imprint on metropolitan dynamics and enact proper strategies towards the industry. In this paper, the role of road-circulation network centralities on industrial complexes’ placement in a regional continuum is analysed, refining the existent methods to assess industry spatial configuration and agglomeration logics. Empirical cases comprise five Brazilian industrial complexes in Porto Alegre’s Metropolitan Region. Hypothesis is that road-circulation network centralities’ hierarchies (closeness and betweenness) have positive correlations to industrial placement patterns at regional and inner-complex scale, informing regional contiguity dynamics amid discontinuous industrial spaces.

规划可持续的城市产业结构：产业综合体和区域连续体中心之间的关系

资本主义经济中生产模式的灵活性继续改变着区域连续体中工业活动的空间组织。公司位于城市边缘的规划综合体中，通常无法通过区域流通路线进入，这阻碍了活动的长期经济可持续性。随着即将到来的智能制造物流需要地方和区域运输模式之间的有效联系，进一步的变化迫在眉睫。这些问题迫使城市规划者、经济学家和政策制定者重新评估工业区对大都市动态的影响，并制定适当的工业战略。本文分析了道路流通网络中心对工业综合体在区域连续体中布局的作用，完善了现有的评估工业空间配置和集聚逻辑的方法。经验案例包括阿雷格里港大都会区的五个巴西工业综合体。假设道路流通网络中心性的层次（紧密性和中间性）与区域和内部复杂规模的产业布局模式呈正相关，为不连续产业空间中的区域邻接动态提供信息。

期刊介绍： Planning, at urban, regional, national and international levels, faces new challenges, notably those related to the growth of globalisation as both an objective socio-economic process and a shift in policy-maker perceptions and modes of analysis. International Planning Studies (IPS) addresses these issues by publishing quality research in a variety of specific fields and from a range of theoretical and normative perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the actual and potential role of planning and planners in this context.
