Economic and Social Development along the Urban-Rural Continuum: New Opportunities to Inform Policy (2021, background): “However, there is no clear agreement about how to deﬁne polycen-tric systems and the existing empirical evidence is at best fragmented and disjointed (Hoyler, Kloosterman, & Sokol, 2008), suggesting an area ripe for further investigation.”
Measuring Polycentric Urban Development in China: An Intercity Transportation Network Perspective (2016, methodology): “A third and final group of polycentricity indicators builds on methods drawn from social network analysis (HALL and PAIN, 2006; GREEN, 2007; HOYLER et al., 2008a).”
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 and analytical measurement.”
On the Economic Foundation of the Urban Network Paradigm: Spatial Integration, Functional Integration and Economic Complementarities within the Dutch Randstad (2009, background): “The focus of the contemporary debate on changing urban systems has increasingly shifted from the intraurban scale to the interurban scale (Kloosterman and Musterd, 2001; Hall and Pain, 2006; Hoyler et al., 2008; Bailey and Turok, 2001; Coe and Towsend, 1998).”
