“…Exploratory methods roughly comprise Q-Q, box and scatter plots. If a spatial component is explicitly considered, they also include spatial statistics, such as local Getis Gi / Gi* and local Moran's I (e.g., Baumont et al 2004;Riguelle et al 2007;Guillain and Le Gallo 2010;Arribas-Bel and Sanz-Gracia 2014;Kim et al 2014;Krehl 2015b) or the geographically weighted regression (GWR). Whereas the first two methods mentioned are truly exploratory in nature, GWR is formally a non-parametric regression approach.…”

Whereas many studies exist regarding urban subcentre identification, systematic analyses of these methods' characteristics are scarce. This paper addresses and reflects these issues for one selected method, the locally weighted regression (LWR) approach. Methodologically the study concludes that no ‘one size fits all’ method exists, but that the LWR is a sensitive means to identify urban subcentres. Content‐wise the study finds that German city regions are fairly monocentric, as all identified subcentres are of local relevance only. Comparisons to the urban spatial structure in US metro areas, to which the same LWR is applied, however, prove to be fairly complicated.

“…With the support of housing and land policies, the population of informal settlements can also gradually migrate to new formal settlements and satellite cities. In addition, the global urban growth experiences indicate that a single city center is more likely to cause overcrowding in built-up areas and reduce urban efficiency [54,55]. In order to alleviate the population pressure in the urban core and optimize the urban functional zone in Nairobi, we suggest that a subcity center should be of concern in the future.…”

The widespread informal settlements in Nairobi have interested many researchers and urban policymakers. Reasonable planning of urban density is the key to sustainable development. By using the spatial population data of 2000, 2010, and 2020, this study aims to explore the changes in population density and spatial patterns of informal settlements in Nairobi. The result of spatial correlation analysis shows that the informal settlements are the centers of population growth and agglomeration and are mostly distributed in the belts of 4 and 8 km from Nairobi’s central business district (CBD). A series of population density models in Nairobi were examined; it showed that the correlation between population density and distance to CBD was positive within a 4 km area, while for areas outside 8 km, they were negatively related. The factors determining population density distribution are also discussed. We argue that where people choose to settle is a decision process between the expected benefits and the cost of living; the informal settlements around the 4-km belt in Nairobi has become the choice for most poor people. This paper ends with suggestions for urban planning and upgrading informal settlements. The findings will increase our understanding of urban population distribution in underdeveloped countries.

“…Of the metropolitan areas within the population range, it was desired to have both polycentric and monocentric metropolitan areas 17 and a variety of government structures. No more than two metropolitan areas per country were selected to prevent findings that would be biased based on one country's approach.…”

(Caltrans), and by private grants and donations. MTI's transportation policy work is centered on three primary responsibilities: MINETA TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE LEAD UNIVERSITY OF Mineta Consortium for Transportation Mobility Research MTI works to provide policy-oriented research for all levels of government and the p rivate sector to foster the development of optimum surface transportation systems. Research areas include: bicycle and pedestrian issues; financing public and private sector transportation improvements; intermodal connectivity and integration; safety and security of transportation systems; sustainability of transportation systems; transportation / land use / environment; and transportation planning and policy development. Certified Research Associates conduct the research. Certification requires an advanced degree, generally a Ph.D., a record of academic publications, and professional references. Research projects culminate in a peer-reviewed publication, available on TransWeb, the MTI website (http://transweb.sjsu.edu). Education The Institute supports education programs for students seeking a career in the development and operation of surface transportation systems. MTI, through San José State University, offers an AACSBaccredited Master of Science in Transportation Management and graduate certificates in Transportation Management, Transportation Security, and High-Speed Rail Management that serve to prepare the nation's transportation managers for the 21st century. With the active assistance of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), MTI delivers its classes over a state-of-the-art videoconference network throughout the state of California and via webcasting beyond, allowing working transportation professionals to pursue an advanced degree regardless of their location. To meet the needs of employers seeking a diverse workforce, MTI's education program promotes enrollment to under-represented groups. Information and Technology Transfer MTI utilizes a diverse array of dissemination methods and media to ensure research results reach those responsible for managing change. These methods include publication, seminars, workshops, websites, social media, webinars, and other technology transfer mechanisms. Additionally, MTI promotes the availability of completed research to professional organizations and journals and works to integrate the research findings into the graduate education program. MTI's extensive collection of transportation-related publications is integrated into San José State University's world-class Martin Luther King, Jr. Library. The contents of this report reflect the views of the authors, who are responsible for the facts and accuracy of the information presented herein. This document is disseminated in the interest of information exchange.
