On the one hand, twin perspectives of construction industry and urban agglomeration proliferate economic prosperity. However, on other activities increased population density give rise to environmental challenges. This study is an initial attempt explore links between industry, agglomeration, non-renewable energy utilization, carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e), output within a system simultaneous ...

Rural–urban linkages have long been recognized as a potential rural economic development strategy. This article tests the effects of rural–urban created through food manufacturing, tourism, and data processing centers on per capita income, employment, population between 2009 2016. Using unique spatial interaction variables, we empirically estimate Carlino–Mills conditional growth model for all ...

The spatial structure of urban-related industries and agri-food value chains is important for promoting sustainable linkages. Using an interregional input-output framework, this study explores the geography inter-industry linkages between financial business services Chilean related from a subnational perspective. This framework allows adding evidence on rural-related economic activities service...

Australia's rural hospitals face most of the same issues and challenges faced by metropolitan hospitals. However they also face additional challenges around geographic isolation, their iconic status and role as major employers in local communities, and their close relationship with community based health services. Future opportunities include more formal integration with community service throu...

Understanding the spatial structure of a megaregion with urban and rural areas is crucial for promoting sustainable urbanization urban–rural integration. Compared to city network (or areas), however, fewer studies focus on connecting or comparison regional structures between networks. Using weighted daily mobility flows from massive mobile-phone signaling data, this study constructs an urban–ur...

Numerous studies have identified associations between the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect (i.e., SUHI, hereinafter is referred to as UHI) and urban growth, particularly changes in land cover patterns. This research questions their causal links to answer a key policy question: If cities restrict urban expansion and encourage people to live within existing urban areas, will that help in c...
