Our study provides a comprehensive view of residential socioeconomic and ethnic segregation across 20 Finnish cities, including both large and smaller cities. We highlight the importance of the scale of analysis by comparing the results from a residential area classification to other neighbourhood definitions, including zip code and statistical grid levels. Instead of relying on a single city-level indicator, we also zoom into different residential area types and illustrate the development of their socioeconomic and ethnic structure between 2000 and 2018. The results show increasing levels of socioeconomic segregation in all studied cities and scales. The increasing levels of segregation are linked to the relative deprivation of residential mid-rise areas built from the 1960s until the 1990s and to the increasing positive selection by income and education in the residential low-rise areas built after 2000. The results for ethnic segregation are more diverse showing increases in some cities but decreases in others. The overall average of ethnic segregation in the 20 studied cities has slightly decreased although ethnic minorities are still overrepresented in the socioeconomically disadvantaged residential areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"157 ","pages":"Article 105599"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142757171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept of polycentricity in urban planning, characterized by a city's development around multiple centers, has notable implications for both personal transportation and home energy use, subsequently affecting household carbon emissions (HCEs). This study examines the impact of polycentric spatial structures on HCEs in China using comprehensive household survey data, highlighting the role of urban-rural disparities. Our findings reveal that polycentric structures significantly increase HCEs, especially in rural areas. A key contributor to this rise is the increase in household transportation emissions, driven by heightened travel frequency and greater reliance on private vehicles. Additionally, as for home energy use, polycentricity substantially increases carbon emissions from space heating in both urban and rural areas, as well as from the use of home appliances in rural areas. However, it does not significantly impact emissions from cooking. This research underscores the mechanism regarding the impact of urban spatial structure on HCEs, providing critical insights for developing policies that promote low-carbon lifestyles through eco-friendly urban planning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"157 ","pages":"Article 105616"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142757170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study utilizes mobility data from the return-to-home phase of <em>Chunyun</em> in 2020 and employs the Random Forest (RF) model to construct a nonlinear explanatory framework for the push-pull effects and their asymmetry in intercity population migration. The findings reveal three key insights: Firstly, there is a notable asymmetry between push and pull effects in the predictive importance of feature variables. Pull effects at the destination are more prominent for economic and employment factors, whereas push effects at the origin are more influential for factors related to the living environment and gender differences. Secondly, we identify the phase transition points and threshold intervals of coupling effects based on the variations in the shapes, gradients, and thresholds of the nonlinear push-pull effects. In addition, we examine the disparities in the context of push and pull dynamics for the interaction effects of multiple variables. Thirdly, heterogeneity in demographic subsamples and different urban scenarios is observed, with within-group differences exhibiting various patterns of change. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers to develop targeted population policies that account for the complex interplay of push and pull factors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"157 ","pages":"Article 105624"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142757219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research findings reveal that WCN displays hierarchical and regional tendencies. At the macroscale, the evolution of urban hierarchy demonstrates both stability and change, and at the mesoscale, WCN morphology follows a core-periphery spatial arrangement with strong regional patterns. ERGM results highlight the influence of both endogenous network structures and exogenous city characteristics on WCN formation. Preferential attachment emerges as a crucial driving force, with disassortativity facilitating connectivity between peripheral and core cities. Additionally, GDP, language, institutional proximity and path dependence positively contribute to WCN formation, while population and distance have negative effects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"157 ","pages":"Article 105613"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142757172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Land dedication, though, does not simply regulate development; it allows a city to preserve undeveloped land. City officials increasingly require developers to dedicate land for open space preservation. The present research focuses on land dedication due to its promise in extending human access to open space in developing cities. City officials nonetheless need regulatory capacity to compel developers to set aside lands. This research uses pooled municipal-level data to examine the likelihood of US cities requiring land dedication as a precondition of development approval. Dedication requirements differ considerably across cities. The analysis tests for the impact of income inequality, conservancy interests, the presence of easements, and a city's time from incorporation. Existing literature has yet to substantiate whether these mechanisms specifically affect the feasibility of land dedication. Depending on the model's specification, conservancy interests are partially or not significant. The presence of easements is partially significant on land dedication requirements. Income inequality is statistically significant in most models. A city's time of incorporation is generally significant across the specified models.

Results suggest that people change their mobility patterns to avoid the harmful impacts of air pollution and cold events, and are less likely to move from less urbanized areas to highly urbanized areas to avoid the hazards, especially for air pollution. Furthermore, intercity and intracity movements can both be changed to avoid the harmful impacts of two hazards. This study finds that averting travel decisions are most sensitive to the origin's air quality on the day of travel and destination's extreme cold temperatures around one day ago and one day forecast.

The payment vehicle and the survey method were selected as bimonthly household income tax and person-to-person interviewing, respectively. As a method of eliciting the WTP, the one-and-one-half-bound dichotomous choice technique was utilized. To analyze the WTP data with numerous zeros, the spike model was employed. The results revealed statistically significant findings. The mean household WTP was obtained as KRW 5195 (USD 4.0) every two months. Expanding this figure to encompass the entire national population results in an annual national total of KRW 680.6 billion (USD 524.7 million). The cost involved in the electrification amounts to KRW 625.0 billion (USD 481.9 million) every year. Therefore, the national WTP outweighs the cost.
