“…This is an intriguing result since it is not what many researchers have discussed. Existing studies on the interaction between urban decline and sprawl have mostly focused on residential and population migration issues [26,31]; living environment elements, such as housing prices, school level, crime rates, traffic jams, and air pollution, are the main reasons that make suburbs a more attractive option [47], and their relocation to the suburbs will make the core area more deteriorated. Moreover, studies on job sprawl are largely focusing on the spatial mismatch issue and the resultant inefficiency in land use and transportation [48][49][50].…”

This paper identifies inter-relationships between the urban decline in core areas and urban sprawl in hinterlands using 50 city-regions of South Korea. We measured decline- and sprawl-related indicators and estimated a simultaneous equations model using Three-Stage Least Squares. The results show that population decline and employment decline have a different relationship with urban sprawl. While population decline has a negative impact on the urban sprawl in the density aspect, employment decline worsens the urban sprawl in the morphological aspect. Another result suggests that the difference is related to declining patterns of population and employment. Cities that are experiencing population decline in the core area are likely to lose population in their hinterlands as well. On the other hand, the employment decline in the core area shows a positive correlation with employment growth in hinterlands. The results imply that suburbanization of jobs and the inefficient land use exacerbate the urban sprawl in the morphological aspect. Thus, local governments should pay attention to migration patterns of employment and make multi-jurisdictional efforts. Furthermore, growth management and urban regeneration policies should go hand in hand to tackle this issue.

“…In contrast, UCT scenarios were developed as policy interventions to limit or direct urban growth into a designated zone for better control and management. Urban containment has been hypothesized to help create a more compact region [54,55]. As North Cianjur is a poly-centric region, the force of growth and expansion is contained in both urban zones.…”

Urban Form Dynamics and Modelling towards Sustainable Hinterland Development in North Cianjur, Jakarta–Bandung Mega-Urban Region

et al. 2022

The urban form is the physical configuration of a city, developed over time and space. Urban form can be considered at different scales, from region to neighborhood, each carrying a different focus. North Cianjur serves as the hinterland and one of the conurbation corridors of the Jakarta–Bandung Mega-Urban Region, meaning that the balance between its function as an environmental buffer area and the destination of urban growth needs to be planned carefully. This paper explores the dynamics in North Cianjur and employs several model scenarios as a planning intervention using landscape dynamic tools and land-change modeling, with three scenarios employed: Business as Usual (BAU), Spatial Planning Policy (SPP), and Urban Containment (UCT). The result show that North Cianjur has transformed into a polycentric region with two urban zones, a peri-urban zone, and a rural zone in the northernmost part of the region. Urban form trends show a sprawling built-up pattern outside urban zones, and a compacted trend in urban zones due to expansion from the Jakarta and Bandung Metropolitan Area. UCT models appear to be the most optimal for implementation in North Cianjur, representing a way to accommodate urban growth and expansion inside the urban center while still maintaining regional sustainability.

“…UGM involves a set of instruments applied by the government to control and manage the growth of cities. Population growth, either logistically or exponentially, represents a challenge for UGM and urban containment policy (Woo and Guldmann, 2014). Furthermore, land zoning regulations produced flexible conditions for increasing public facilities development funding.…”
