• The Rise of the Mega-Region (2008, background): “Today's mega-regions extend far beyond individual cities and their hinterlands (e.g. Meijers, 2005).”
• On the Economic Foundation of the Urban Network Paradigm: Spatial Integration, Functional Integration and Economic Complementarities within the Dutch Randstad (2009, background): “In the urban geography and planning literature, it is generally contended that such cities and towns complement each other in terms of economic specialisations, each being therefore more competitive than they would be in isolation (Meijers, 2005).”
