“…This will lead to new trade-offs between location centrality and travel costs (Muller, 1995/2004). Urban development could spread over larger areas, resulting in lower densities—a development comparable with previous processes in Western countries (Dijst and Vázquez, 2007).…”

While Western countries are trying to reduce car dependency on the back of low carbon objectives, the ownership and use of private cars in urban China is increasing dramatically. In this paper, light is shed on both developments through a comparative study of the travel behaviour in two regions with a very different built environment: Nanjing, China, and the Randstad in the Netherlands. Controlled for car ownership, daily travel time and distance are analysed in both regions. The results indicate that, in the case of Nanjing, the suggestion is that the configurations of current land use which support walking and cycling should be preserved as much as possible and that, in the meanwhile, investments should be made in fast public transport to facilitate economic developments. As regards the Randstad, it would seem wise to promote the use of walking and cycling by continuing to encourage compact land use patterns in combination with relatively fast public transport developments.

“…The influences of polycentric urban development on the spatial relationship between jobs and housing and commuting length could be affected by institutional factors through the interaction between public polices and market forces (Dijst & Vazquez, 2007;Zhao & Lu, 2010). Compared with Europe, urban development in the USA is more often privately financed and less led by national policies (Cervero, 1995), and therefore sprawling patterns of decentralization occur under weak regulation (Razin, 2007).…”

“…According to the pattern drawn up by Larsen [7] and the model further developed by Dijst and Vazquez [8], Italy can be classified, in the European context, as leaning "towards a decentralized liberal system model" (p. 267) [8]. Italy is, in fact, a country with a high level of decentralization where, despite the high level of regulation, there is a high degree of freedom in actual practice.…”

This paper analyses the relationship between deconcentration processes, planning policies, and governance in the metropolitan area of Rome, Italy, from 1991 to 2001. It points out that Rome does not have an explicit policy either in favor of or against deconcentration and that the public authorities are not in fact aware of the problem. Deconcentration is mainly driven by market forces and business location decisions. These decisions are strongly influenced by material factors such as accessibility, land availability, and real estate prices, as well as immaterial factors such as the natural, cultural, and social environment. Public players can take action to influence these factors. Even though Italy has a very strictly regulated planning system, there has traditionally been a high degree of freedom in actual behaviors.
