• Stretching the concept of ‘borrowed size’ (2017, methodology): “Here, we adopt a morphological rather than functional perspective of polycentricity (see Burger and Meijers, 2012) by measuring the level of polycentricity of multicentric regions using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, a common indicator for measuring competition levels based on market concentration.”
• Functional Polycentricity: Examining Metropolitan Spatial Structure through the Connectivity of Urban Sub-centres (2012, methodology): “In polycentricity literature, however, polycentric urban systems are usually assumed to have an even distribution of inhabitants or workplaces between the centres (Parr, 2004; Meijers, 2008; Burger and Meijers, 2012).”
• How did urban polycentricity and dispersion affect economic productivity? A case study of 306 Chinese cities (2018, background): “Despite recent growing popularity of the concept of polycentricity for both scholars and policymakers, the concept itself remains ambiguous and stretched (Burger & Meijers, 2012; van Meeteren, Poorthuis, Derudder, & Witlox, 2016).”
• Megalopolis unbound: Knowledge collaboration and functional polycentricity within and beyond the Yangtze River Delta Region in China, 2014 (2018, background): “…on economic and commuting functions of a polycentric urban region and measured functional polycentricity at a certain geographical scale (Burger and Meijers, 2012; De Goei et al., 2010), this study examines the concept of functional urban polycentricity from an intercity knowledge…”
