China has entered an era of rapid high-speed railway (HSR) development and the spatial structure urban agglomerations will evolve in parallel with evolution HSR network. In this study, we explore how network evolves at regional local scales. Existing research into structures mostly been carried out a scale, therefore failed to reveal connections within city. work, progress science by exploring ...

Farmland transfer (FT) is the key to achieving moderate agricultural scale management in China. Clarifying spatial pattern of FT important improve strategies.

Shrinking cities are widespread throughout the world despite the rapidly increasing global urban population. These cities are attempting to transition to sustainable trajectories to improve the health and well-being of urban residents, to build their capacity to adapt to changing conditions and to cope with major events.
