“…The area is composed of three urban districts (区, qu ) (兴庆, Xingqing; 金凤, Jinfeng; and 西夏, Xixia), two rural counties (县, xian ) (贺兰, Helan and 永宁, Yongning), and one satellite city (市, shi ) (灵武, Lingwu) (Yinchuan Bureau of Statistics, 2017: 63, 102). The total built up area of the city had reached 169.1 km² in 2015, having tripled in size compared to 2001 figures (Wang et al, 2017: 88). The historic urban centres can be categorised into the “Old Town,” which used to be the old Ningxia prefectural city and today belongs to Xingqing District, and the smaller “New Town” (today in Xixia District) originally built in 1739 for the Qing Dynasty Manchu ruling class 7.5 km west of the old centre.…”

“…While still considered small in the Chinese context, the city has seen a large population growth in recent decades and has undergone massive urban development since the early 2000s. Yinchuan’s response to China’s “Western Development Strategy,” launched in 2000, was the enlarging of its urban jurisdiction under the slogan of “Large Yinchuan” (大银川, da Yinchuan ) in 2002 (Wang et al, 2017: 88). In practice, this meant abolishing the suburbs (郊区, jiaoqu ) and reordering Yinchuan’s administrative structures (Duan, 2011: 79).…”

The city was indeed more or less confined to the two historic centres “Old Town” and “New Town” until the early 1990s (Wang et al, 2017: 89). These two urban cores are connected by what only a few decades ago used to be a country road lined with trees, running through the countryside (Zhang and Duan, 1988: 22).…”

As urbanisation strategies have been adopted throughout China in recent years, it has become increasingly relevant to study their implementation processes in so-called lower-tier cities away from the well-known regions. Urbanisation has given rise to different types of settlements for landless peasants: planned resettlement neighbourhoods, as well as more or less accidentally grown urban villages. While resettlement is widely adopted and positively propagated, urban villages are usually only seen as soon-to-be demolished “non-places” and their residents are often stigmatised. This article focuses on a case in Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia Hui autonomous region. It analyses the demolition process of Yingnan village and its lead-up and finds that despite this general discursive framework, exposure on a local TV show and low scores on a national “civilised cities” ranking pressured the local government to not ignore Yingnan village as merely a “non-place” but to invest in better sanitary conditions and speed up redevelopment.

Economic efficiency is the key issue of sustainable development in urban agglomerations. To date, more attention has been paid to the estimates of productivity gains from urban agglomerations. Differing from the previous studies, this paper focuses on the influencing factors and mechanisms of the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations, and check the effects of three different externalities (industrial specialization, industrial diversity and industrial competition) on the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations. The selected samples are multiple urban agglomerations, and the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations includes single factor productivity and total factor productivity. China’s top 10 urban agglomerations are selected as the case study and their differences in economic efficiency are portrayed comparatively. Firstly, a theoretical analysis framework for three different externalities effect mechanisms on the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations is incorporated. Secondly, economic efficiency measurement index system composes of labor productivity, capital productivity, land productivity and total factor productivity, and the impact of various factors on the economic efficiency of urban agglomerations is tested. The results confirm some phenomena (MAR externality, Jacobs externality and Porter externality) discussed or mentioned in the literature and some new findings regarding the urban agglomerations, derive policy implications for improving economic efficiency and enhancing the sustainability of urban agglomerations, and suggest some potentials for improving the limitations of the research.

“…It is often found that conservation areas and green open spaces such as city parks are transformed into built-up areas. Fast and irregular city expansion driven by the high rate of economic growth has been criticised as being the primary cause of green land loss, social inequality and urban environmental damage in China (Cheng and Masser, 2003;Ding, 2009;Wang, Krstikj, and Koura, 2017;Yeh, 1999). In Semarang, urbanisation and urban sprawl cause changes in land use (Aprillia and Pigawati, 2018).…”

Urban growth is a complex and dynamic process involving changes in the physical and functional components of the built environment (Sahana, Hong, and Sajjad, 2018), in which residential growth and development are essential. Residential is generally called as settlement and it is specifically referred to as a house (Hammond C W, 1979; Hudson, 1974). The main factor affecting the physical expansion of a city is the population growth rate and land consumption per capita (Bagheri and Tousi, 2017). Urban expansion characteristics are often locally specific, based on determinants such as economic, social, demographic, and planning (Xu and Zhang, 2017; You and Yang, 2017). Urban expansion rate is generally twice higher than population growth rate (Seto, Fragkias, Güneralp, and Reilly, 2011) and one of the triggered problems is the tendency of over-concentration in certain areas causing imbalance or uneven distribution of service centres. Meanwhile, access to opportunities and employment is often the top reason for people in choosing a residential location (Christiaensen and Todo, 2013; Rodríguez-Pose and Hardy, 2015; Satterthwaite, 2006). It makes the city centre or downtown area most favourable because the large-scale modern activities, social infrastructure and decisionmaking centres are entirely available in the area (Donaghy, 2013). Urban growth also implies changes in land use or land cover (Patino and Duque, 2013). In this paper, the built-up area is broadly defined as having Centre for Research on Settlements and Urbanism Journal of Settlements and Spatial Planning J o u r n a l h o m e p a g e: http://jssp.reviste.ubbcluj.ro Semarang is among the important metropolitan regions of Indonesia, and it is affected by the growth and development of the composing residential areas, especially in the central area. The main focus of this research is to analyse and understand the current problems, including aspects of land use, residential patterns, residential development directions, and characteristics of the communities in residential growth areas. We used Quick Bird image data as the primary data source, and maps and statistical data as the secondary. Descriptive statistics and spatial analysis were used in analysing the data. Semarang city centre area consisting of six districts that were selected as study area. Results indicate that there has been a 2.08% expansion of residential areas during a decade, from 2006 to 2016. Population in the expansion areas increased by 4.33%, while the majority of the population has average education level. They mostly work in manufacturing industries, construction, and various trade and services facilities. There are three residential patterns identified in the study area, i.e., clustered, random and dispersed. Although much land suitable for residential use is still available in the study area we learned that growth of residential areas occurs also in areas with land unsuitable for this particular use, such as preserved and disaster-prone areas. These findings can help planners to re...
