Accessibility of Cities in the Digital Economy (2004, background): “Interestingly enough, Germany is followed by Poland and Italy in terms of participation in the IBN, two countries which are also characterized by polycentric urban systems (OECD, 2011; Meijers, 2008).”
Functional Polycentricity: Examining Metropolitan Spatial Structure through the Connectivity of Urban Sub-centres (2012, background): “Yet, despite numerous demands to clarify the concept (Davoudi, 2003; Parr, 2004; Hoyler et al., 2008; Meijers, 2008), the term ‘polycentricity’ has been surrounded by a certain fuzziness as regards to its formal definition”
Questioning Polycentric Development and its Effects. Issues of Definition and Measurement for the Italian NUTS-2 Regions (2012, unknown): “However, these propositions often lack a theoretical rationale and, even more importantly, they have not been sufficiently corroborated through appropriate empirical investigations (Meijers, 2008).”
Megalopolis unbound: Knowledge collaboration and functional polycentricity within and beyond the Yangtze River Delta Region in China, 2014 (2018, methodology): “Meijers (2008) distinguishes these approaches and argues that a fixed number of cities could be the best choice when measuring functional polycentricity.”
