Assessing polycentric urban systems in the OECD : country, regional and metropolitan perspectives

Brezzi, Monica; Veneri, Paolo - 2014

Contemporary urban systems in OECD countries are structured around functional regions, which often overcome established city boundaries. Reading space in terms of functional regions allows assessing changes in urban hierarchies and spatial structures, including the polycentricity of urban...

On city size distribution : evidence from OECD functional urban areas

Veneri, Paolo - 2013

An increasing amount of empirical evidence documents that city-size distribution within a country follows a power law, often in the form of Zipf’s law. This paper provides new comparative evidence on city size distribution across OECD countries. It uses a database where urban agglomerations...

Polycentric metropolitan areas in Europe : towards a unified proposal of delimitation

Boix, Rafael; Veneri, Paolo; Almenar, Vincent; … - 2011

Metropolitan areas concentrate the main share of population, production and consumption in OECD countries. They are likely to be one of the most important units for economic, social and environmental analysis as well as for the development of policy strategies. However, one of the main problems...

Identifying agglomeration shadows : long-run evidence from ancient ports

Hornbeck, Richard; Michaels, Guy; Rauch, Ferdinand - 2024

We examine "agglomeration shadows" that emerge around large cities, which discourage some economic activities in nearby … areas. Identifying agglomeration shadows is complicated, however, by endogenous city formation and "wave interference" that … estimate agglomeration shadows cast on nearby areas. We find that empirically, as in the simulations, detectable agglomeration …

Life satisfaction along the urban-rural continuum : A global assessment

Tassinari, Filippo - 2023

This paper assesses differences in life satisfaction along the urban-rural continuum in 111 countries across all world regions. It combines survey data with a consistent definition of settlements to maximise international comparability. Globally, once controlled for individual characteristics,...

What Do Divided Cities Have in Common? An International Comparison of Income Segregation

Veneri, Paolo - 2020

This paper provides a comparative assessment of income segregation within cities in 12 countries. We use spatial entropy indexes based on small-scale gridded income data and consistent definition of city boundaries to ensure international comparability of our segregation measures. Results show...

Challenges and opportunities in mapping land use intensity globally

Kuemmerle, Tobias; Erb, Karl-Heinz; Meyfroidt, Patrick; … - 2013

Future increases in land-based production will need to focus more on sustainably intensifying existing production systems. Unfortunately, our understanding of the global patterns of land use intensity is weak, partly because land use intensity is a complex, multidimensional term, and partly...
